SMALL TALK

Small talk can take place between people who know each other, or at first-time meetings. It may last from a few minutes to over an hour, depending upon circumstances. It results in a nice impression and
common interest that could be the basis of a future meeting or more serious relationship.

When meeting someone for the first time, you are limited in what you may say and what you may not say. You do not want to be rude by asking personal questions or saying anything negative.

After business hours, when socializing with colleagues, you will need to know the acceptable topics of conversation: weather, sports, good news, travel, positive comments about your host country, movies, entertainment, food, or the challenges of learning a foreign language. If asked, you may discuss work, where you live, or where you are staying. After work hours, when people want to relax, discussions about work or anything too serious are usually not welcomed.

Subjects to avoid are: money, prices, personal health, bad news, religion, politics and details about your family and children.

Finally, be careful about jokes! Humour varies from culture to culture, and you may offend without realizing it.
