Going Through A Funk Chit Chat
I am going to be referring mostly to my experiences in the UK, because I think the chit-chat phenomenon is just extremely widespread here.

This is the real struggle for many people coming from direct cultures and there is no straight-forward answer. This is a process and you can initiate the mindset shift by getting curious about the functions the chit-chat has in the British society.

Those are dances to celebrate the cultural diversity of the world. Accept it, respect it. I'm not going to stop."
How did you guys meet? We met at a songwriting camp in Sweden in 2021. It was such a fun experience to get to know musicians from around the world, and we started chit-chatting right away.
