The Art of Conversation, 3rd period
"Right. So." Going great so far, Jon. "One of the tips to practicing conversation is to never assume you understand the other person." He was great at that; he rarely understood anyone. "So we're going to practice that today. Let's have a conversation about anything, but assume you know nothing about what the other person is saying, and ask them to explain everything. Politely. And we also have to not get upset with the person asking for explanations; the idea is to think about what you're saying and explain it clearly."
That...probably was not what this tip meant. But look, you gave a scholar bad at interpersonal interactions this class, and you got what you got, moose.
"I have a few cards of things to talk about if you can't think of anything." Because he certainly couldn't.

Ask each other to explain everything, and then explain things as clearly as you can.
