Sometimes talking to you can be a difficult task. Knowing what to say and how to talk to you can sometimes be a challenge because I have known you for a while, but you are still a respected figure and I need to treat you like you have authority. I have learned that talking to you like I do to my friends can sometime not be appropriate. Respectfully saying hello and asking how you are doing seems to be more appropriate then “Hey Dude what’s up.” So as you can see learning how to talk to different people can be a more respectfull thing as well as a better tool used in the work place.

Hello. YO YO what up. Hey Baby. Yo Dude. Hey How are ya? Talking to a stranger or someone you haven’t known very long can be hard and nerve wrecking, knowing how you should talk to them can be an even bigger one. And DUDE! Your first words can be the biggest impression on someone and you don’t want to mess it up. So you can start formal with a “Hello” or informal with “Hey dude, what’s up?” (like we always talk) And Dude you know how you talk to your homeboy’s don’t talk to your boss that way. They may think you are way dumb! The majority of us don’t think about it, but we can change the way we talk about 10 or more times a day. This of course depends on who we see and what we’re doing. Like with a GF or BF it’s more of a “Hey Baby!”, but with a boss or someone you just meet it might be a “Hello, how are you doing today.” Learing how to change how you talk can be one of the most important lessons of your life.
