There is no universal answer there. It depends on various things. First and foremost, of course, on time and effort you invest. As usual. Also, let's face it, not everyone is equally talented.

Tutors let us gather here and give our students ideas on how to start a flowing conversation in English.
Best answer
This can be placed under speaking skill. Answer: Several ways. But I will like to talk about the basic aspect. Language is systematic. As writing skill requires reading skill, so speaking skill is hung on listening skill. What I'm trying to say is that for a student to be able to start a flowing conversation in English, the student firstly needs to be taught and enlightened about the listening skill. Listening to others conversing in English Language will help a student to know how to start his or her own (theirs). Listening skill is key to speaking skill. Listening skill and reading skill are primary to speaking skill and writing skill. When the primary ones are well placed the secondary ones won't be difficult. Thank you.
