10 Fantastic Conversation Starters in English [Start a Conversation with Anyone]

The key to a fantastic conversation in English is to ask meaningful, interesting questions. If you’ve wanted to start a conversation with a neighbor or coworker but felt unsure about what questions to ask, today you’ll get 10 conversation starters you can use with anyone.

This lesson is an update of a lesson I did in 2016. Today I’ve added 2 new bonus questions plus I’ve shared my complete list of 10 great conversation starters.

I know that thinking of questions and remember the word order or grammar structure is stressful, especially in the middle of a conversation when you have to think fast.

Use this lesson to learn fantastic conversation questions to ask and then choose 2-3 that you want to remember. Practice asking them again and again. This will help you remember them in your next English conversation.

As always, my goal is to help you express yourself effortlessly in English and with confidence.

When I was in USA 🇺🇸 this first bonus was so weird for me, I didn’t know that it was a conversation starter :( sad by then but I learn that it’s a way to show sympathy with others and to get along. Thanks for the clarification teacher!
