How to break the ice with foreigners?
Hi, I am a Englisg-major college student from Taiwan, and this is my first time to visit this website, which is so useful and convenient for anyone from anywhere. I am so glad that I can ask someone or even more to solve my questions about English and meanwhile I can also help someone to solve his/her questions as well!
Anyway, I got a question here: How to break the ice with foreigners? All of my dear teachers tell us all the time that we should grasp any chance to talk in English, especially when coming across those foreigners whose native spoken langage is English. Somehow, I find that it's easy to talk to someone but so hard to start a conversation that interests that person I am talking to.
Can you guys share me about your personal experience or advices when you're under the same situation?
Thanks for any reply
All the best,
a confused Taiwanese student, Willow Tasi.

If you want to break the ice with a Brit, just start talking about the weather ...for some strange reason they LOVE it.

AnonymousOne of the mostly often way- "how do you like it here?" Irina N.You can reply to very old posts if you wish, but note that it has been nearly 9 years since anyone contributed to this thread. It is doubtful that anyone will reply further as forum members tend to move on in their lives.
