The first step to successful communication is to choose a topic that interests both parties. A good start can be a discussion of travel. Many people like to talk about their travels, share experiences and advice. You can ask the interlocutor about their favorite vacation spots or about countries they would like to visit.

The next interesting topic of conversation can be cooking. Questions about national dishes, recipes and food culture can not only ease the tension, but also allow you to learn something new about the culture of another country. You can ask the interlocutor about his favorite dishes and even exchange recipes.

You should not avoid the topic of music and cinema. You can discuss popular films and musical groups. Perhaps you have common favorite performers or directors, this is always a good way to find common ground.

Also, if you feel that you are on the same wavelength with the interlocutor, you can discuss deeper topics, such as hobbies and interests, studies or work, as well as current events in the world.

However, it is also important to remember what topics are best avoided in order to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Politics and religion are the topics that can most easily lead to misunderstandings and quarrels, so it is better to avoid discussing them. It is important to be polite, respect the opinion of the interlocutor and try to avoid controversial topics.
