Socializing after work

If you want to socialize with your colleagues after work, you'll need to use the right expressions. In this exercise, we test your knowledge of informal language for socializing. What do you know?

Kontakte knüpfen und pflegen

Improving your small talk is a matter of confidence and practice. We’re here to get you “on track".

Do you know what to say in the first few minutes of a conversation? Using small talk is a way to feel more comfortable with people before getting down to business. We’re here to help you get “on track” to meet your business English goals.

Networking is a long-term activity, so don’t expect immediate returns.

Business English: our names are unimportant when we're making small talk.

Not getting to know you

A recent visit to Munich's 200th Oktoberfest reminded me how unimportant our names are in many situations. That may sound odd, but we often have conversations without introducing ourselves until the end — if at all.

Speed networking

Speed networking allows a large number of professionals to make contact with each other in a very short space of time.

Intercultural: Socializing

When we do business with people from other cultures, we share a common purpose — getting the work done — so we usually know what to talk about. But what happens when you spend time with foreign colleagues or business partners outside of the office? Intercultural communications expert Robert Gibson is here to talk about socializing.

Taxi!

I used to see taxi journeys as a necessary evil and remain silent, hoping that drivers wouldn’t burden me with their crazy opinions about current events. The more I travel, however, the more I am now fascinated by taxis and see the drivers as a rich source of information.
