Some people think small talk is unimportant.

Those who are aware of its power, feel rather uncomfortable talking to others about trivial things.

However, small talk doesn't necessarily touch trite topics. And this skill is totally learnable. I speak from my experience!

If you learn to master small talk, then you can use it to improve your life in countless ways. 

For instance, small talk may help you: 

- nail your job interview,

- get a new promotion at work,

- network with fascinating people,

- meet a new romantic partner,

- avoid feeling awkward at social events and many, many more.

In other words, small talk may lead to BIG TALK. Look at our politicians behind the scenes 😉

So, if you want to find out more about how to get ready and run a casual conversation with no stress, listen to my today's episode.

But before you dive into the episode, look up our today's vocabulary.

Here's also a list of the questions I've mentioned in the podcast.

And if you'd like to read more on that topic in Polish, check out my old resources that I've just found out.

Are you assertive? Or do you have a problem saying no to people?

I do! I've been working to be more assertive for a while.

And you know what?

One metaphor helped me a lot. I heard it some time ago and I modified it in my latest episode.

I hope you'll find it useful if you are working on your assertiveness.

Hi! 

I’ve recently read this question in a facebook group chat: 

Can you recommend a place where I can learn idioms?

And that question was a red flag to me! By the way, that’s a nice idiom. 💜

Are you ready?

I can't even tell you how happy I am to go ahead with another attempt at blogging here, on Agata's Way™. I do hope this time my presence here will last much longer than a short year. Any kind of verbal encouragement on your side is most welcome too 😉

Frankly, I was just about to do some sort of research on a completely new topic when I realized that "Hey! I still have a lot of old goodies in my "Christmas sack" that have never seen the light of the day ..." So, I thought to myself: "Why not dig deeper first and fish out something that may come in handy for at least some of you?"

As a result of my divagation, the first thing I came across in depths of my social media content was that video below.

Again, I must make a confession to you. I watched it holding my breath in fear. "What am I gonna see there?" How badly will that video embarrass me?" - I wondered.

After almost four minutes of uncertainty I may just say that we're taking ourselves too seriously. And that may be our big obstacle on the way to our smaller and greater successes. Just some food for thought 😉

Anyways, hope this short video won't confound you. And as my gift to you, I've added some language quizzes for the English language lovers.

Enjoy!

A.

This quiz below is dedicated to all language freaks whose English isn't their native tongue. 💜

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
