Talking with co-workers can be awkward. This video will give you some foundational language to make small talk and connect more with your colleagues. The questions and phrases taught in this video can also be used in other social occasions, and are transferable to texts or other forms of informal written communication. Some of the language in this English lesson includes: “It’s been a while”, “Long time no see”, “What have you been up to?”, “What’s new on your end?”, “Take it easy”, and “Stay out of trouble”. Make sure to do the quiz after watching. Have a good one!
Hey! Alex! Thanks for the video. I looking forward to having small talk with people. I have been thinking about it a lot. No way! I’m kidding you, guys! Hey! Alex! What’s new on your end? Could you tell how the wheather is there? Have a good one!
Roberto
Hey Roberto, nice to hear from you! As I type this, it’s 9am and the sun is shining. Can’t complain! Hope you’re doing well.
Alex

It’s the first time to watch Alex’s video since I knew engVid two months ago. At first, I decided to learn from one teacher’s entire lessons. And now, I changed my mind I watch all teachers’ most recent lessons as much as I can a day. I feel all teachers in engVid are the best English teachers I can find in YouTube or whatever. Thanks for these greast lessons for free. I’ll donate soon because this site really helps me. Keep good teaching and learning!

Firstly what i noticed. James has MR.E and Alex has a spider. haha:)
I’ve been considering.
Did you watch the game? Is it more common tha “Have you seen the game? I think the second one is rather more common than first. Since, you want to know if he or she is well versed. If is. You can talk about that. What are their feelings.
By for now :)
