Small Talk mit Nachbarn
Not every important conversation is official. This one is about sounding friendly, light, and respectful when you only know someone a little.
Atmosphere
A hallway, a short pause, and the small social risk of saying either too much or nothing at all.
Before you begin
A structured setup before the conversation starts
Know the place, the person, and the practical goal before you choose your first response.
