Can anyone give me any advice on how to keep a conversation?I'm very grateful to them as my BF and I were long distance and so before we move in together they gave me a place to stay. I'm still living with them after a month and I want to do something to thank them. I can't do gifts because I have little money! I feel quite bad because I must come off as quite selfish, not talking to them often and not really doing anything to show them that it's really appreciated. Any ideas?

 Well, you could try to get to know them if you have not done so already. Ask where they are from or perhaps even how they met (if everyone is comfortable with it), you could ask them about what your boyfriend was like when he was younger. You can ask them anything really as long as it is appropriate. Feed the conversation with whatever you are talking about and make sure that you say at least once that you really appreciate their help and their kindness.
I know you may get nervous even starting a conversation but if you just start, it will get easier. Gather courage to utter the first word and the rest will flow like water.
I hope that helps.
