I struggle with small talk even in my native language. For me it's 2 or 3. Great video! Thank you a lot, Hadar! So useful tips and the way you explained them - such a fun video! You are more and more creative.

[@hadar.shemesh]

Haha thank you so so much!!

[@artistryanu1279]

Me too struggle with small talk when I talk in my mothertongue .ppl quickly find that I m terribly silent person. . It's not about language proficiency but something else which I could not understand. I keep on thinking but could not find the answer why I m quiet all the time

[@peterryabinin3829]

Thank you, Hadar! It's incredible useful lesson! Have a beautiful week you too!!!

[@rosaynes7257]

Thank you Hadar. You know exactly what we need.

This is awesome. I’m not a native English speaker and you don’t know how much you’ve helped me to improve my fluency and self confidence when talking. You’re a great Teacher Hadar!!

Excelent video as always! Keep it up Hadar! You're lessons are so engaging that I never get tired of watching them and learning from you. Thank you!

I love this video, it gives me the strength I need to start a conversation with a person who speaks English.

[@sajanvirk1821]

You're a brilliant teacher. You are a adorable person. You have good speaking skill because you make people listen to you carefully so they can understand you. You are cool and fun

[@lilianaamado1372]

Loved the video, from beginning to end : clear direct to the point ! the idea of mirroring is super useful.

[@wendynancoo1633]

Hadar, you are simply amazing! You have brought to life some of the most fundamental and troublesome areas in conversations that ESL speakers experience.

[@moragil1]

Thanks for sharin these tips, Hadar. I loved the mirroring technique..

[@user-cq1qn6pp3s]

So that's a relief to realize that I am not the only one who started really enjoy talking to oneself during the quarantine (both versions of you are very beautiful and elegant, and the video is very useful as always)

[@alina.levyshkina]

I really loved the labeling technique. And now I realize that some of the people I know used it when they told me smth like this, their assumptions about my personality. And it felt amazing, like, they're talking about me, they're interested! 😂 Totally gonna use it

[@fernandochirino4516]

I guess I'm half way to master this hard skill. I'd say 4 and still in progress. Love your pieces of advice. Thanks!👍

Hi Hadar, I learned about you from Anna's channel and just fell in love with your way if teaching! I looked through many different channels, but yours is the best out there! Thank you so much for your hard work and fun and engaging lessons! In a month I already learned so much!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@hadar.shemesh]

Thank you so much!! And welcome!!

[@mehriaalbert6263]

Excellent course. Thank you. :)

[@shakilaasghar7486]

Thank you for another useful tip. My take away is small talk can be started and prolonged if it is made "about them".

[@-flabber6663]

Hi Hadar. You're very creative person and a master of a long or small talk (today just 14min.). It's in your genes! Fortunately, I'm not a teacher and an introvert often avoiding the small talks. Perhaps after seeing your ideas I will change a bit. Btw, I like your voice, it's penetrate through the air and captivate the attention of listeners. That's one of the reason I have subscribed to your channel.🐁

[@anuraparakrama2849]

At the beginning, you are like 😆 Lol you are so adorable like a kid when you are rushing down the downstairs. Lol 🤣

[@joseramoncabanas]

It was so interesting! When having small talk, I usually smile. By the way, I also like the option of starting a conversation with mirroring. That was cool!

[@adrianaassef4433]

Repeating what the interlocutor said is so good because it let us to gain time. I mean, if we are freezed, at least we can say something!! 😂

[@dairamarino3897]

I really enjoy this video, thank you

[@lucasleque]

8. I like small talks. I think it is a good way to get to know new people. One thing that I use in small talks: I try to find commonalities or, if the person has a contrast opinion, I try to understand why they think differently. I liked the strategy about labeling, I'm definitely going to use that in my next small talk with a new person. Thanks for the video, I loooove your channel!

[@lariiris]

These kind of videos are great!! Hollywood production and acting!

[@jithufrancis180]

Hi, ma'am, this is the first tine, I'm seeing your video and you shared about small talk pretty well. I really understood what are the value there and how to handle the small talks better, even I didn't like into a part of it. From my side, I love small talks but not interest to get along with for ages.

[@user-qd1kz9sp1k]

Great, as usual. I never use any conversational technics. It seems to me if my partner know about the technology it would create an awkward situation. I give talking to flow free.

[@Ruthie4j]

Hi Hadar,I love your lessons and the level of your confidence. My accent is terrible,I hope to improve.

[@googlepage9992]

I love your Conversation. 👍👍❤

[@johnnyblessed1632]

You're a beautiful and talented person I watch your videos every single day. That helps me a lot to improve my English. Greeting from DR

[@Ledilochka]

Really useful tips) given by teacher for a teacher)) thanks)

[@Psi-Bilingue]

By and large I used to be the kind of person that I'd much rather keep it to myself pretty much every occasion, however over time I realized that it's powerful to strike up a conversation because it boots your self-confidence when you put yourself out there and get to know people, surely it's easier said than done, I would say I've enhanced my small talk skills considerately, I'm always trying to be positive and If someone vents to be I try to empathize and share a similar experience or I even try to sum up my opinion on that topic.

[@nicolaibecerrozki1724]

Thanks for this excellent video

[@spoofgg7822]

This video is on point. I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here. Small talks aren't my thing personally. Not that it doesn't exist in my own culture but it doesn't flow the same way as it does in western cultures. I had to take jobs where I'm forced to initiate small talk everytime just because I was so bad at it or just don't have the motivation or desire to engage at all.

[@Flowerdoodle._.]

Up to 10) Small talks can be quite funny, informative and useful. Specially liked the "mirroring" trick. Will try and see how it works. Thanks!

it's challenging 3 10:00 mirroring, Labeling 11:56 13:15 What is the one thing you are going to take from this conversation and put it to use as of today the answer is mirroring. Acting, enthusiasm and engaging are the best combination

I must confess I had read the book of Chris Voss , but I hadn´t understood "mirroring" - up to now-. Your way of presentation and and the way of acting the diferents examples is super. Hollywood is losing a star ..... (ha ha) and we gain a great teacher. Thanks for everything

[@andrewsafram105]

Rating 1 to 10 I would say probably 2 lol. By the way I love the video, it caught my attention from beginning to end, I liked the samples related each context, the effects on the video, it was very creative. Wow you really surprised me.

I think you spoke about reflective or active listening. The way of speaking to people is to develop empathy if I understood.

[@hadar.shemesh]

I do talk about it a lot, but less on this video. Here it’s more about how to come up with good questions (tip- you don’t need to, just reflect on what they’ve said)

[@badrlondon6280]

To be honest, I like your platform. We can feel the peace between people from all world.

[@11Amandamoura]

I hate small talk because it's in this moments when people realize or create a precipitated impression about our English. If we get bad in the first simple small talk, the face expression of the other part suggest the though "hmm... She is foreigner... And she doesn't speak English very well...". After this, is very difficult keep calm and we tend to confirm the bad expectation from other about our terrible English.

[@mesha6616]

I experienced exactly the same Amanda M. People are judgemental. I hate small talk too. But this video is very helpful. Ask more questions about them and listen actively.

[@MotasimArbab]

Thanks

[@emilsander4570]

Beautiful videos, tanks you by your advices. I am learning English for my account but I understand more o less the English, the lenguage English is pretty because almost the world speak English.

[@JayCrissto]

If two people have different backgrounds (one valuing small talk, the other maybe doesn't even know what it is), and they meet but the small talk does not work, they stay silent. Who is being rude in this situation? I understand that this channel is about teaching people how to speak, but assuming that everyone has to small talk because if they don't they have a problem, is a bit alienating and not particularly inclusive. But anyway kudos for great tips! As general rules they are awesome, thank you!

[@luislima6244]

Oh Hadar, yor videos and work are impressive and fun. I know you have the accents way course, but I am interested in taking a live class with you one day. But I know that there are so many students to help and you don't have time to join all of them. Keep working and until next video. Hugs

I suck at small talk, I dunno what to start. Then, I ostentatiously go with an "ahem- how are you?" Then they would be like "so, this was your contemplation for the past two minutes. I end up with a smile that seems like I had an instant compliment. So, number 1.

[@hadar.shemesh]

😭 I feel you my dear! But I think that the tip I share of being the leader, and just a sequence of following questions can help. And practice is important!!

[@063jeyanithilap5]

@@hadar.shemesh yeah, thank you soo much. Curiosity is crucial like you told. If we listen, people talk and allow us to talk too (sometimes we get a compliment too) I will practice, I hope it will be better. It is easy when I speak after setting inspiration (or imitating). I will stick up with all your tips. 😊 it would help (because I had never prioritized on any small talks)

[@tinamariegerald4276]

English is my native language, yet I feel English is not fitting. I mean it feels, to me, speaking English is not my original language. This is because, as an introvert with a talent for public speaking, English language makes for a lot of wasted space and time-in my humble opinion! Small talk, for example, feels a waste; like : "GET TO THE CRUX OR THE POINT" my head screams. ''What is the point here?" "Let us dive deep" , my mind thinks Or, let us talk about something of substance which will help us both, or the group at large, please! Small talk, however, allows room for diving deep. There are actually ❤️ loop holes in small talk where one can lead the other to a meaningful, purposeful, abundant conversation! I would not say it is manipulative, but I would say using "small talk" can be a strategy toward a particular goal, selfish or selfless. T Thank you, Hadar, my friend. I began today with prayers for help. I will say your video, Small Talk, is the third video of yours I have seen today. Much appreciations to you, Hadar, and many Blessings to you and your families!
