I've been working on my day game in Brazil for about the past month but am having problems keeping the conversation going. I open with some sort of observation (usually in the bookstore) or question (street, subway, or mall), but after that it tends to go stale. My Portuguese isn't good enough to ramble for long. Should I just go straight to asking her questions? What tact have y'all taken in other countries?

The answer, unfortunately, is to study the language harder. Direct questions are not a shortcut to building attraction when you're not able to communicate well.

For limited language skills, try loud nightclubs. You can build attraction with more nonverbal means like dancing.

Guess I'll have to hit the books, thanks for the help Roosh.

And just keep doing the approaches. Each approach your early chat will get stronger, even if you don't have enough convo to close.

I'm still in the early stages of learning game myself, but I can converse pretty good in German. If you want to improve your fluency you have to put yourself in situations where there's no backing out. Get lost in a city and try to use your language skills to help you navigate back to a certain point. It's frightening but it puts you in a fight of flight mindset, this is how I learned (and how i'm still learning).

The best way to learn a language is to live it. Plan and simple and the only way to live it is to put yourself on the spot. Approach as often as you can and it will help with your language skills. I learned far more spanish on the street than I ever learned in a school. That being said you can always add a slight stutter to certain words as some find it cute and will try to help you correct the error. Even if you already know how to say it right.
