Maybe preparing for commom situations? Like in the grocery store, create some preplanned responses such as discussing a local event. Or if the cashier asks about your day practice answering then responding back with a question about theirs. If it's a family event do some research - if you know your brother in law just went on vacation, ask him about it. People love when you ask them for their knowledge so for example you could ask "What site did you use to book your hotel? What did you think about this pkace compared to (some other place?)" Etc.
