do you ever start talking to someone and not know what to say

that is something

that we're going to talk about today we're going to help you out with over 100 small talk questions

and answers because small talk is something that we do a lot of um

and i'm really excited

because we're going to bring you a fast spontaneous native speaker english lesson conversation with a lot of small talk

that you can practice with us you can shadow along you can learn how to ask better questions

and give better answers and i have a very special guest with me today the undisputed expert

and champion of being my boyfriend mike what's up everybody glad to be here

so and if you're new here i'm gabby uh i am your american english fluency coach here at go natural english so

So what we're going to do is have this be kind of like a game to see what questions

and answers we can think of spontaneously.

Because as I said, this is unscripted.

We're not just reading because that's boring, right?

So we're going to think about what kind of questions we would ask in a small talk situation

for 10 different categories of small talk.

So we'll share those topics with you and then we'll be brainstorming the questions

and answers in the moment i'm super excited

because i don't know what we're gonna draw we have a hat a hat with these topics

on uh little slips of paper and they're all mixed up and we don't know what we're gonna choose

and we're gonna see if we can get to 10 questions

and answers for each topic all right

if we can't make it you know we'll just move on

but we're gonna do our best should i keep count yeah we'll have to keep count

i don't know how we're gonna do this but we'll do our best all right okay so

is there anything else before we jump oh i wanted to ask actually

because we're making this video on small talk right

but we've had discussions before we actually have admitted to each other how we feel about small talk yeah

so mike how do you feel about small talk small talk's

hard for me honestly even as a native english speaker

it sometimes it's hard to to just jump into talking about stuff

that seems mundane or every day

or kind of boring sometimes i like those juicier topics

so yeah it's something i need to work on myself

i feel the same no i don't particularly always enjoy small talk

because it can feel very repetitive right i mean we know english

this is our native language we've probably asked the same small talk questions hundreds

if not thousands of times in our lives and

so sometimes it can feel a little boring

but hopefully we'll bring some spicy questions so

that you know you have a lot of options i think small talk can be fun

if you have good questions to ask

and you don't just stick to the same one question like how are you where are you from

so what do you do what do you do yeah what

do you do although i probably will ask you what you do we're gonna pretend

that we don't know each other as well as we do

so like for some of these questions you might wonder like really gabby

you don't know what your boyfriend does for work

this is for the purpose of this this video all right

do you you want to pick first ladies ladies first okay okay okay uh

if i pick the topic then you have to start with the first question okay okay weather

and seasonal events so gabby what's your favorite season oh my favorite season is fall

because it's not too hot not too cold

and i'm not going to ask what about you although

if we were having an actual conversation i would probably say what about you

or how about you and notice that when i say

that i'm not saying each word very separately i don't say what about you you'd probably think

that was a little weird what about you what about you

so or how about you um okay so another question about weather

or seasonal events have you seen the weather report for today no

i haven't checked it yet i mean just looking at the sky

i'm thinking we're in for a really nice beautiful day

but you never know this time you never know

but it is beautiful right now we're very lucky

if you could pick your favorite type of weather to go

have a picnic what type of weather would you choose oh definitely summer uh

and we actually did have a really great picnic a few weeks ago uh

and the weather was perfect it wasn't too hot

because we did it in the evening and yeah it was just beautiful

so summer is perfect for picnics for me um do you know

if it's going to rain later today no i don't um i didn't check the weather report

so um i can get on my phone and do

that wait hold on i'm laughing

because i'm really i'm really pushing 10 i'm really pushing to know if you

if you checked the weather day yeah actually

i did look at the weather no

it's not gonna rain maybe tomorrow how do you feel about

rainy days like what do you like to do on a rainy day oh

that's actually a great question i enjoy a rainy day

or a snow day because it kind of forces you to stay indoors inside

and read a book or organize your stuff

or catch up on chores you know laundry or whatnot um

and it's it's nice because you don't have as many options sometimes

when the weather is nice i just want to do everything i want to be everywhere

and um you have less options when it's raining or snowing right

so reading a book

or watching a movie would be my top two choices i kind of love rainy days for

that reason yeah just to get to indoors

and be cozy yes to be cozy do you have any favorite

because we're in summer now right it's august as we're filming this do you have any favorite summer events

or festivals that you like to go to you know we're here in maine and it's

just an amazing you know touristic place to be in summer

so i'm curious if or have you been to any interesting events

or festivals yeah so for me i'm a little bit of a nerd

so i like going to a renaissance fair i like getting dressed up in silly clothing

and watching clowns and performances and fun stuff

and maybe eating a giant turkey leg oh wow you know

that's like a great summertime activity is to go to renaissance fair i love

that yeah i love

100

that yeah i would say um

101

there's some really interesting festivals around here like there's a seaweed festival i have not been

102

but i would like to go to i think

103

there's an oyster festival there is i would love to go to

104

that there was a clam festival i thought about going to

105

but i did not there's probably a lobster festival there has to there has to be yeah

106

but don't tell anyone this is a secret i don't really like lobster

107

okay all right anyway safe with me because i don't either you don't either i don't either

108

that's wonderful it's good for us yes um there's

109

so much in common okay let me think another question also

110

i lost count i have i've completely lost count well

111

i think you asked the last one about festivals right is

112

that maybe six or so i think that was six okay

113

so we have a few more to go it's my turn oh

114

it's your turn i think oh yeah

115

you're right yeah okay all right um all right in terms of your clothing

116

and like what you like to wear like what's your favorite season for clothing

117

and for fashion oh definitely summer

118

because i love wearing dresses even though i'm not wearing one today

119

i love wearing summer dresses like long flowing skirts

120

and in summer you can wear some really fun dresses i mean not you

121

but one when i say you i just try new things no judgment no judgment

122

if that's what you want to do uh

123

but yeah it's just nice for me to be able to wear all my dresses i actually have

124

if you look at all my clothes probably 80 of my

125

clothing is summer clothing yeah did you see the hail the other day uh yes

126

that was crazy it was crazy because it's august it's the middle of summer

127

and we had a big storm and hail i couldn't believe it

128

i was inside in my home and i

129

and i heard these you know these pieces of ice crashing against the window i was like what was

130

that yeah that's pretty rare for me i was a little nervous

131

that like my car was going to get dented up

132

but luckily it was like small pieces of yeah no problem yeah

133

but that was cool that was it was interesting all right Gabby

134

so sometimes I have a hard time figuring out like how to get outside in the winter

135

when the weather is really cool do you have any favorite winter hobbies

136

or activities that you like to do outdoors definitely

137

so here in Maine I love cross -country skiing yeah

138

if we get a good snow I'll even take my dog out

139

and uh take her with me i've tried to get her to pull me on the cross -country skis

140

but we haven't quite gotten there yet um

141

but yeah i love cross -country skiing

142

or even like going on a winter hike um trying to think what else yeah

143

that's probably it yeah i met someone

144

that said they do backcountry ice skating like they go find frozen rivers

145

and frozen lakes and then they go ice skating

146

and oh my gosh like the wilderness and nature i thought

147

that was super cool wow

148

that is interesting i hope they have a good way to make sure

149

that the water is completely frozen because that's my fear is like

150

that it's not completely ready to skate on but i'm sure they

151

got that covered yeah yeah nice day isn't it it's gorgeous today this honestly like these are the days

152

that i live for like this days like this make living in maine

153

so worthwhile yes it's sunny it's not humid it's dry

154

there's a little breeze in the air like i couldn't ask

155

for a better day agreed yeah all right uh your pick here let's take

156

this one out hmm work what do you do well that's our first question right there uh -huh uh

157

so i am an english fluency coach here at go natural english um okay

158

i am going to ask how about you okay um

159

so i am an outdoor educator

160

so i've been a park ranger i've been a naturalist for the city of portland

161

i've been the director of summer camps for kids doing nature program as a kid

162

so that's what i love to do i love connecting people to nature

163

and the outdoors that's amazing okay so how long have you been doing

164

that wow about 20 years at this point oh my goodness

165

so um i spent over seven years as a park ranger in new york city

166

and i taught people believe it

167

or not outdoor survival skills in the middle of new york in new york city that's amazing canoeing

168

and camping and fishing and all those fun things

169

that you wouldn't think of when think about new york city

170

so that was a really fun job that is

171

so cool to me it's it's super interesting

172

that you've been teaching english as a career

173

and professional like what do you love about

174

that like what is maybe what's really rewarding about

175

that career well i love inspiring people uh sometimes

176

when people are learning a new language like english

177

they don't feel very confident they feel shy they're not sure how to speak up i don't know

178

if you can relate to that but I like to encourage

179

and inspire people to speak up and tell their stories

180

and connect with other people yeah I think

181

you're very good at it from what I've said thank you I really want to copy

182

that same question

183

because I want to know let me let me tweak it a little bit what inspires you about the work

184

that you do hmm

185

so in my career doing outdoor education I've worked with all ages

186

I've worked with kids I've worked with adults I've worked with families seniors you name it

187

so but I would say working with kids is to me the most inspiring thing

188

because you know for me I I'm truly believe

189

that nature is healing and

190

that as you know trying to do some good in the world one of the best things

191

I can do is to get people excited about nature yes

192

because when you care about something you

193

when you love something you want to take care of it yes

194

so for me um teaching kids about nature and getting them out to nature and form that relationship in nature

195

that means that they're going to grow up

196

and want to take care of it

197

so i feel like not only are the kids getting a lot out of it

198

but then i'm helping to grow the next generation of

199

conservationists and people that care about the natural world

200

and will protect it i love that

201

and let me just say it's it feels slightly unnatural to go back

202

and forth the way we are

203

but we're trying to share as many different questions as possible

204

we're hitting 100 folks yes we're gonna do it we're gonna do it okay

205

but i do have another question if you don't have one

206

please how did you get started in your career

207

so it's a really kind of interesting story i studied psychology in school

208

so i studied counseling psychology

209

and then right out of college uh

210

i took a job doing um work with foster families in the south bronx

211

and that job was so stressful

212

that i basically i lived next to a park in new york city

213

and after work i would just go over to the park to relax

214

and calm down and de -stress and eventually i said you know what one way

215

or another i'm gonna find a way to work in this park wow

216

and i sure enough i found out that there were urban park rangers

217

and the rest is history i became a ranger

218

and that's kind of been my career since that's awesome

219

you did it i did it yeah i love it all right um

220

so tell me about some other jobs

221

that you had before you became an english teacher yeah

222

i taught several other topics actually i taught spanish i taught sailing okay i taught keyboarding

223

which is how to type okay yeah um

224

i think those are all my teaching jobs

225

i also worked in after school programs for the city of portland also um

226

so that was more of like being a camp counselor

227

and taking care of little kids before and after school

228

but then i realized that i i enjoy working with college students

229

and adults even more um so i kind of gravitated to doing

230

that very cool yeah what would be your dream job

231

and this is not really small talk we're getting into like more deeper deeper questions

232

but yeah i know but i think it's okay you know uh

233

so yeah what is what would be your dream job

234

i think what is your dream job is a totally appropriate small talk question thank you i think

235

that's a okay and that makes it more interesting

236

and you form a better bond with somebody

237

if you really know them sure i mean maybe not the first question like what's your name what's your dream job?

238

I mean, but maybe.

239

I wouldn't mind.

240

You never know.

241

I wouldn't mind.

242

Okay.

243

All right.

244

So, what is your eating diet?

245

So, to answer the question, honestly, I would like to be the successor to Anthony Bourdain.

246

Oh, my gosh.

247

Like, rest in peace.

248

So, like, a chef or, like, a...

249

No, more just someone that gets to travel the world, eating a bunch of amazing food,

250

meeting a bunch of really interesting people from all over the world.

251

I feel like we can make that happen like

252

if you all are watching and you're living in different countries

253

and you want to help us travel the world

254

and eat great food leave a comment we'll even cook for you i mean yeah

255

i'm a decent cook he's a good cook it's true yes okay

256

so i feel like your dream job is closer than it may seem maybe

257

this is the beginning right now yeah making that happen yeah okay

258

see what happens

259

when you go a little further into yeah yes more than yes yes get people out of the shell yes

260

it's a good thing well let's oh i think i asked the last question yes okay um

261

and i really want to turn around and ask what your dream job is but we're trying not to copy so

262

instead i would probably say the same thing what's the worst job you ever had like what's the job

263

that you're just like i need to quit this is awful um well the first one that came to mind

264

It may not actually be the worst one, but the first one that came to mind was I was a waitress for just a few months.

265

I was in college and I was waiting tables and it was breakfast.

266

So I had to wake up at five in the morning to get there by 6 a .m.

267

That's when the breakfast, the restaurant opened for breakfast.

268

And so just that fact was a little bit difficult for me, you know, and then it was fine i didn't mind it

269

so much but i think just that shift being so early

270

that was hard because as a student i was staying up late studying

271

and just it didn't quite fit with my routine

272

but again i was you know 19

273

i was just uh just doing what i could do to make ends meet

274

so i'm glad i had

275

that experience though even though it wasn't maybe the most enjoyable schedule

276

we've all had survival jobs just to pay rent

277

and get it done yes yeah absolutely but i'm very fortunate

278

that most of my life i've been working for myself with go natural english

279

and doing this so i feel very very grateful very fortunate would you rather work the day shift

280

but only have five vacation days a year or work the night shift

281

and have 30 vacation days a year i mean my first reaction is to definitely say night shift for sure

282

because i'm kind of a little bit of a night owl myself

283

but then my biggest concern is like if i'm working the night shift and and you're not oh

284

i i wouldn't get to spend enough time with you um

285

so in that regards but i know how important travel is as well

286

so it's hard to pass up those vacation days too

287

so i would say i would probably work the night shift okay

288

and do those vacations and then you can record your videos at night

289

and then oh yeah okay problem solved well

290

and hopefully we don't have to choose between those two options they're not ideal options yeah

291

but i had to ask you a question yeah tell me

292

like what did your parents do for work oh yeah

293

so my dad was a counselor uh he was a vocational counselor

294

which means he helped people find jobs

295

so a vocation is your work i thought of another question oh good okay

296

so what are you working on right now i am working on uh recording

297

videos literally right now we're recording a video yeah

298

and creating some new courses and relaunching some exciting things here at go natural english that's exciting yeah

299

well i think that's 10

300

so should we pick another one i think it's my turn

301

i think it is your turn all right oh oh no oh no

302

i think that's the one that's the one okay yeah okay okay oh no

303

news or personal updates oh okay okay so did you see the news that's my question that's my question

304

i guess i should be more specific what have i seen in the news lately

305

that caught my interest um let's launch did you see

306

that okay so i i don't want to talk about politics i really don't

307

but did you see the news about um about there's this

308

tall ship in portland called the eagle oh really yeah okay

309

and they're they're offering tours on it which is pretty cool because it's a historic

310

tall ship and the coast guard is using it for training

311

so i think that's kind of interesting

312

so did you hear the news about the eagle i did not

313

but i think like what just happened was really cool

314

because it was like a topic that you wanted to talk about

315

so you almost kind of used like

316

that as an intro question be like hey did you hear about this thing yes

317

and then i can talk about it let me tell you yes let me tell you all about the eagle

318

so that's like a cool small talk thing too yes yes did you hear about

319

so and so did you hear about yeah did you hear the news

320

yeah um no actually so i'll do the same did you hear

321

that actually this path that we're right nearby they just built an extension on this so

322

that now you can take a bike ride on this path 16 miles all the way down to downtown saco

323

that's amazing it's really cool actually i did hear

324

because you told me yesterday but I'm trying to act surprised

325

but but that is that is great news actually that's the kind of news

326

that I want to hear I would love to do

327

that with you someday I would love to do

328

that too I love riding bikes yeah so

329

that would be fun awesome um so I know

330

that you have been interviewing for some new opportunities

331

so how did your last interview go oh yeah um

332

it's going well like i uh i felt really good about the interview uh it was a job

333

that definitely interesting and i think would might be a good fit um

334

and they actually emailed and said

335

that they want to send me to the next round of interviews

336

so i guess i guess it went well yeah yeah congratulations

337

because i've heard it's a very difficult time to be interviewing

338

so yeah yeah yeah I feel feel good about it yeah that's great um all right

339

so tell me what you're excited about uh this last week like I love

340

that question I am excited about moving forward with some renovation projects actually

341

so the home I have here is under renovation um there's actually a few units it's a fourplex

342

so we're doing a lot of work like new roof new windows um new bathroom new kitchen

343

it's just like a lot so i'm very excited

344

that i have some good people who are working on things

345

so this week i think we're going to make a lot of progress

346

and by the end of this coming week i will be moving from one apartment to another

347

so i'm excited for that move

348

so a lot of things going on to be excited about do you need help moving

349

i do would you help me i would

350

does that count as my question um we're gonna play the game where we just ask each other questions

351

and no statements i don't think that's a small talk question

352

i don't think i don't think asking someone asking someone to help you move is not a small talk

353

that's pretty serious yeah i guess things are getting pretty serious what's on your agenda for this week i'm

354

so glad you asked so being that it's the weekend um i am very excited

355

that today there is an event that has salsa dance lessons

356

and a salsa dance social event

357

and i happen to know somebody who's really into salsa dancing

358

so i get to go out dancing with my uh very gorgeous girlfriend who knows how to dance very well

359

i think

360

that sounds like an amazing plan an amazing agenda are you going to give me a quick lesson before

361

we go

362

so i don't embarrass myself you're you'll do fine okay

363

you'll do fine you'll do you are doing great you're already okay you're already great all right yes but

364

if you want yes

365

i will please have you checked the forecast for this coming week is there any rain coming is

366

that totally lame that's a lame question well no i mean like

367

um i i i think there's a little rain coming um

368

i couldn't think of a better question right now wait

369

i have one related to the salsa dance thing yes have you ever

370

because i like asking have you ever questions have you ever danced salsa

371

yes i have i mean i'm starting to learn right now

372

so i've i've been able to go to a couple lessons

373

so far um

374

but it's very new to me like i feel like i'm a decent dancer

375

i feel like i have good rhythm yeah

376

but it's hard for me to learn specific steps like right foot here left foot here right less tricky

377

so yeah it's it's challenging but it's a fun challenge it's something

378

that i'm i'm excited about

379

because it's you know it's good to try new things

380

it's good to like expand your your boundaries yeah have you done any traveling lately uh yes actually

381

couple weeks ago i went to new york city and that was also for a dance event okay it was amazing

382

the location of the dance event was in times square

383

so it was very touristic

384

there were a lot of people a lot of things going on it literally all hours of the day

385

and night because as you know new york city is the city

386

that doesn't sleep especially time square yes

387

so i really enjoyed it was three days i think three days no four days three nights

388

if i remember correctly and every day was full of dancing

389

and um pretty you know fun lessons good food um

390

i walked around a lot i think every day between dancing

391

and walking around the times square area

392

i was at least taking 20 000 steps wow at least yeah all right

393

so you know i'm a big foodie yes

394

and i used to live in new york city

395

and used to live in new york city

396

so like what's the best thing

397

that you ate in new york city okay well

398

you know some of the time i was just going to the supermarket

399

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
