Nouning: Expansion Pack
You may be familiar with the concept that is Nouning. Here's the add-on...
Summary of Nouning
So you're out and you meet a HB. Your conversational skills aren't brilliant... what do you do? Try Nouning.
Nouning is, basically, taking the nouns from a reply you get from a HB.
Noun: A person, place or thing
You: So what do you do? (Boring question I know but a good example nonetheless)
HB: Oh, I'm in Trinity College in Dublin.
Nouns in the above reply: TRINITY COLLEGE and DUBLIN.
We'll pick DUBLIN to work with...
You: So whats the nightlife like in Dublin?
HB: Oh, it's great especially Renards Nightclub!
Noun in the above = Renards Nightclub
You: Renards eh? What's that like then?
And so on... You get the idea.
EXPANSION PACK
To add a bit of variety to your conversation use the 'question words':
- HOW
- WHY
- WHAT
- WHEN
- WHERE
- WHICH
Once you remember these you can pick which one to use in the conversation - there's no end to using these words. Example:
Take the noun DUBLIN again.
Now, use the 'question words' to form a question:
- HOW is Dublin looking these days?
- WHY did you choose to go to Dublin?
- WHATs happening in Dublin these days?
- WHEN do you get your summer holidays from college (in Dublin)?
- WHERE abouts do you socialise in Dublin?
- WHICH do you prefer, (her hometown name here) or Dublin?
Let's use the other noun, Renard's Nightclub, as another example:
- HOW is Renard's these days? (As in, is it busy)
- WHY did you choose to go to Renard's?
- WHATs the best day to go out in Renard's?
- WHEN do you go to Renard's?
- WHERE abouts is Renard's exactly?
- WHICH do you prefer, (other club name here) or Renard's?
Once you get used to using the above method, there's no way you can run out of things to talk about/say to the HB/person.
NOTE: This tip is inteded to get you INTO the conversation and kickstart the meeting - using this tip ALL the time will make you look robotic - so use sparingly.
