EASY IDEAS FOR AN ENJOYABLE CONVERSATION
- Finding the other person's true interests and desires.
- Sharing his/her consciousness....being there for some time...in the shade of the "other consciousness".
- Addressing his/her concerns/fears/desires...even if you are disinterested in these things...even if you dislike all these...
- Moving from specific to general...personal to local...social to global.
- What matters is how much you care for the relationship...with yourself...with the other and with the conversation itself.

Some more thoughts on CONVERSATIONS
" Nobody
listens with the intent of listening, but with the intent of plugging
their own story. A conversation which feels like a relay race is a total
turn off. A conversation needs to flow like two rivers, intermingling
with each other, sharing experiences, co-creating meaning in doing so.
That is why I don’t enjoy being a part of a conversation, unless I am
really interested in what you have to say, coz am all ears y’know. And I
can’t pour my thoughts out unless I know what I say matters. If you
can’t improve the silence then STFU, is my mantra." ....

EC FLUENCY
Fluency
in English or any other language is not just about asking or answering
questions...it's more than that. In fact fluency is actually sustaining a
speech, conversation, discussion, interview, a paragraph, an essay etc.
It is making a combination of sentences to give opinions, views, to
argue, to express, to voice our thoughts etc. So unless we have a wide
range of sentences at our command plus a good vocabulary plus a nice
awareness of things happening around fluency will not come easily to us.
Given below is the fluency chart to give us a summary of all the
different types of sentences, of the most basic type, essential in any
conversation. FLUENCY CHART
