If you would like additional framing: you have only 30 seconds to prepare and you can talk for 10-30 minutes.

    I was reading a thread where people were talking about Japanese pronouns and remembered that this is my favorite icebreaker question.

    My topic is Japanese pronouns. How they differ from English, a little bit of the history, and broadly why they should make us reinspect how we construct identity and how they complicate the idea of “individualism” vs “collectivism”

    I could fill 25-30 minutes easily with no preparation.
