How to Keep a Conversation Going DO: • Start with more than “hi”: “Hi! I’m Thai. I want to practice English. Can we chat?” • Ask open questions: “What do you do in your free time?” “Why are you learning Thai?” • React and ask more: “Oh really? How long have you done that?” “That sounds fun! Do you do it often?” • Share your side: “I like that too!” “I usually watch Thai dramas instead.” • Use emojis or stickers: They make your message friendly and fun. ⸻ DON’T: • Don’t say only “hi” Add a question or something about you. • Don’t give short answers only: Try more than just “yes” or “no.” Add details! • Don’t ask personal questions too soon: Avoid asking about love, money, or where they live. • Don’t worry about being perfect: If you forget a word, ask: “How do you say this in English?”
