Not sure what to say when talking with someone new? Use these questions to come across as more interesting, and to quickly build a deeper and more meaningful connection with the people you interact with. With the questions I’ll go over with you in this video, you will skip the generic small talk and get people to open up and show the parts of themselves that are unique and that make them excited. We’ll use secrets and imagination to create a bond – maybe a bond that’ll last a lifetime. www.engvid.com/conversation-skills-5-questions-mos…

Thank you. Last questions made me thinking about my life. Now, I need a person who can ask exact and important questions to give the light on my way.

So glad I’m already following you. Not just about ESL - about communicating, getting to know people & having FUN. Helpful to me as a shy person looking for work. Thanks James and mr. E too.

These questions themselves mak this video interesting. Surely they are asked on occasions when you really want to bond with someone.

i honestly don't like being asked about my super powers because that is a very frequent thing in job interviews.

Hi! I really liked you tips and will try them on the first occasion, BUT I have a quastion: some people are closed up and don't enjoy talking about themselves - are there some cool topics that don't include personal stuff, feelings, thoughts (at least at first sight)?

Nice. I usually find some people very boring but still like them. These are good questions to get something interesting out of them.

This is an interesting conversation. Today I revisited my list of superpowers I would like to acquire. It’s really long. I have gladly achieved some of the items.
