How do I talk to this girl?

I go to a community college and this girl asks me do I speak Polish. I say yes and then I begin a conversation but it only lasts for ten minutes and all I talk about is my parents from Poland and how I once visited Keiv. She seemed interested but I can tell that my conversation was really boring. She on the otherhand is Ukraine -American. Nevertheless how do I talk to this girl I mean she seems nice and I know for a fact that she is single. Advice anyone.

i speak english and it will be a while before i go so i plan on learning a little, but do i really have to be good at it, i also want to visit Ukraine, will i have any problems there.
