Conversation survival flow

Speak both sides of the exchange. Your goal is not a perfect answer; your goal is to respond, ask back, repair confusion, and continue.
- Answer the first turn Give a short natural answer instead of a formal speech. Respond
- Ask back Add one question so the conversation does not die after your answer. Continue
- Repair awkward moments Practice phrases like "What I mean is..." and "Let me say that another way." Recover
