About this episode

<p>Small talk is not just a pointless way to fill silence in social situations, it is an opportunity to make great social connections, build your network and just have an interesting conversation with someone new, but how do we do it successfully? How can you develop your confidence, and take the right approach to making good connections with people you meet? That’s what this episode is all about, as I am joined again by Ray Addam, who has plenty of good advice and stories to share.</p><p><strong>Get the PDF</strong> with phrase bank and full transcript 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/A-Big-Talk-about-Small-Talk-with-Ray-Addam-1007.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/A-Big-Talk-about-Small-Talk-with-Ray-Addam-1007.pdf</a></p><p><strong>Episode page</strong> 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/10/20/a-big-talk-about-small-talk-🗣️-with-ray-addam-improve-your-speaking-skills-in-english-1007/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/10/20/a-big-talk-about-small-talk-🗣️-with-ray-addam-improve-your-speaking-skills-in-english-1007/</a></p><p><strong>LEP Premium</strong> 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/premium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/premium</a></p><p><strong>Ray&#39;s Instagram</strong> 👉 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/learnenglishwithray/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/learnenglishwithray/</a></p><p><strong>Ray&#39;s Preply page for 1-to-1 lessons</strong> 👉 <a href="https://preply.in/RAY6EN200844011?ts=17815602" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://preply.in/RAY6EN200844011?ts=17815602</a></p><p><strong>Ray&#39;s online courses</strong> 👉 <a href="https://www.skool.com/elevate-english-6228/about?ref=77d17e9d6acf4bf1ae51158796ecaa0f " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.skool.com/elevate-english-6228/about?ref=77d17e9d6acf4bf1ae51158796ecaa0f </a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
