Doing Small Talk in German

What topics are safe? How to start a conversation? How to keep it going?  

​

Some topics we cover:

​

• Introductions: .

I think we haven't met yet, nice to meet you, how is it going, how has your day been etc

• Weather 

too hot, too cold... 

• The situation you find yourself in:

e.g. at an event, at a party 

• Work 

small talk with colleagues 

• Compliments 

how to talk about nice things you've noticed on the other person  

The World of Work

How German is spoken at work.

​

• Job Interview

what questions to expect and how you can answer them in German to help you be totally prepared, culturally as well as language-wise.

• Meetings

specific phrases and words you can use in meetings at work to sound more professional  ​

Phrases for Everyday Life 

​

• Introduce yourself

properly in German(y) - formally with Sie and informally with du, in business and in private

• Come in, sit down, can I offer you a drink? 

and how to accept one.  

• Practice

I'll get you to practice remembering and saying the phrases out loud.

​

Really practical everyday stuff so you can feel confident you are getting these first interactions right. ​
