small talk
and have meaningful conversations while presenting a professional image. While you can use these expressions in many business and academic situations, this lesson is focused on starting conversations when you are at a conference. I share many good small talk topics that are appropriate in this context. You will learn how to talk about what you have learned at the conference and how to express your opinion about the experience, including the conference venue and speakers. This is a great lesson to watch to prepare yourself for attending a work- or school-related conference. My goal in this lesson is to help you feel confident and make the right impressions with the people you meet. For more practice, scroll down and take the quiz. Good luck!

Great lesson it’s useful and simple
Useful phrases to avoid awkward moments at a conference or talk Jade; they’re easy to remember, by the way.
Well,I could say -in a sense- that I’m kind of ready for my next electronic presentation.
The challenge here,however, is to find the right contexts to put all these expressions into real practice; otherwise we’ll forget them soon.
Bye Jade, take care.
Dear Jade, your lessons always challenge the status quo.
Dear Jade, Thank you for this wonderful lesson. Looking forward for others… stay happy, Regards,

Thank you Jade. “This question would only make sense if the conference was in Helsinki…” – it was especially funny :)
Hello!
The lesson is very useful, thank you.
Sorry about offtop, I have a question in general. The words “strange”, “odd” and “weird”, do they mean exactly the same or It is better to use each of it in some certain situation?
A brilliant and very useful lesson, thank you very much!

I would like to practice my English with you by viber, what´s app, skype or another app…. I am brazilian..

Jade, you seem to be running out of batteries. Recharge, and start enunciating. Whenever I watch your lessons, in order to hear you, I need to turn up the volume that much the neighbors want to call the police.
