Ever been in a conversation that just… dies? You don’t know what to say next, and suddenly, silence. It feels awkward, and you start overthinking.

▸ Maybe you're worried about your English.
▸ Maybe you're scared of making mistakes.
▸ Maybe you just have no idea how to keep the conversation going.


The truth is, this is a skill…one you can practice and improve. Today, I’ll give you three strategies to stop conversations from dying out and keep them flowing naturally.


In this episode, we’ll explore:
✔️ Why Conversations die out and how you can stop it from happening
✔️ How to keep conversations going by asking better questions
✔️ Small talk strategies that help you connect with new people
