Write
your “spiel” out on a card and carry
it with you until you know it by heart.
When
you see someone you would like to talk to, say your
spiel to them (you can even read the parts you forget).
Yes, it’s contrived. But most people are so glad to
have the opportunity to be able to carry on any sort of
conversation with you that they won’t care.
When you
exhaust your vocabulary and ability to understand, tell
them that you were pleased to meet them and say goodbye
for now.
Over
time, you will be able to speak your spiel more naturally.
Add more phrases to your spiel, and your ability to converse
grows.
Here
are some phrases you might include in your
"spiel":
