Benvenuti alla nostra sessione del Business Communication Club su “Parliamo di Te! Domande Personali Che È Ok Fare in Inglese.” Navigare il mondo delle domande personali in una nuova lingua può essere complicato, specialmente in un contesto professionale o sociale dove le norme culturali possono differire. Oggi esploreremo domande personali appropriate che favoriscono le connessioni senza oltrepassare i limiti. Discuteremo la sottile linea tra essere amichevoli e rispettosi, e impareremo come impegnarsi in conversazioni personali ma adeguate in inglese. Questa sessione ti aiuterà a diventare più a tuo agio nell’iniziare e rispondere a domande personali in vari contesti.
