Hello everybody

Could you help me please?

After talking with a coworker for the first time,

What is the best sentence and why?

It's been a pleasure talking to you
It's been a pleasure to talk to you

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Actually, I would say both! I might be wrong but the two sentences are correct to me. Yet, I would naturally say ' talking' just to avoid the double ' to' in the sentence.

Maybe a native speaker will have a different view.

Regards,

Trams

Thank you TRAMS

But I would like to have the feeling of the native speakers

And the different meanings

Have a good day

Hello!

'It was a pleasure talking to you. Thank you for agreeing to take a look at my resume.'

'It was a pleasure to talk with you" is correct and usable in written English.'

Both sentences are right; it depends on you.

I am sorry but I am not a native ...

Bonjour
On nous apprenait à l'époque.
I like teaching. Sens général.
I like to teach in good conditions. Choix intellectuel, idéal, cas particulier souhaitable.

De même, it's been a pleasure talking to you est la formule la plus courante, la plus habituelle, l'infinitif est en effet plus réfléchi, plus du domaine de l'écrit. Je ressens que talking signifie simplement te parler alors que to talk signifie le choix de te parler, l'action de te parler, impression d'un non-natif cependant.
