How to communicate with people from England?

Some teachers from England came to our school,they are young and handsome:D.But I'm always nervous when I talk to them face to face and don't know what to say.My English is poor(Typical "Chinglish":p),which makes me more embarrassed to speak.I know little about western culture and etiquette either......but telling nothing is impolite,how to communicate with them and leave them a good impression?

Thanks a lot~!!

Well I guess the best thing would be just to be yourself as you are among friends. English people are people like everyone else I don't think they see foreigners as someone special. If you want to get to know them better ask them something that interests you or find something that interests them, e.g. what sports they like, differences between your culture and their culture, political topics, science, clothing, music, food, history - lots of things to talk about

Your way of communicating with other people governs the relationships you have with them and what they expect from you. If you’re very open, you put people at ease, while if you’re nervous people can be more distant with you. We’re often totally unaware of how we communicate with others, so prepare to be surprised! Find out how you really communicate with those around
