About this course
Small talk often feels difficult because a conversation has no fixed script. This Georgia Tech lesson introduces vocabulary for brief professional exchanges and offers a narrow starting point for practising them.
The material is taken from Speak English Professionally and presented as a separate free lesson. Its scope is conversational vocabulary, rather than a full speaking course or a complete grammar sequence.

WikiFree recommends it after you can introduce yourself and understand common questions. A short resource like this is useful for filling a specific gap, especially when you want language that can keep an everyday exchange moving.
For later practice, pay attention to the other person’s response instead of preparing only your next sentence. The aim is a connected exchange, not using the largest possible number of new expressions. The course does not award a completion certificate.
