    I sometimes use the alphabet method. When a conversation gets stuck I think of words starting with a and form a question from that.

    Example : angler fish, amazon, aeroplane

    -> do you like travelling? What’s your dream destination? Do you like the deep sea/ocean/swimming?

      I think for short ask questions, actually listen to their answers and follow up or share your own experiences. Now you’re conversating.

      Me in my head: Start a conversation, think of words that start with a… Aaaaaaaaaaaaa…

      Me out loud: We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

      Everyone, including me: WTF!?
