What I would do after learning more about good communication skills, is start an interesting topic with a friend. I would make sure to keep eye contact, and maintain good body behavior. By doing this, I will seem fully in the conversation. Another good idea when communicating with someone, is to think before you speak., knowing what you're going to say next will definitely make it easier to speak clearly.
