What topics are appropriate for professional small talk in Spanish

For professional small talk in Spanish, appropriate topics typically include:

• Work-related subjects such as projects, industry trends, and professional experiences.
• General polite topics like weather, travel, and cultural events.
• Light personal interests such as hobbies, sports, or cuisine.
• Current non-controversial news or developments relevant to the professional environment.
• Asking about the other person’s well-being and family in a respectful manner.

These topics help maintain professionalism while fostering friendly interaction in Spanish-speaking business contexts. It is important to avoid overly personal, political, or controversial subjects unless rapport is well established. ^{1, 6}
