Could you please help in this regard like how to start a conversation with a new client or a proper way to ask/request some thing from the client.
looking forward to hear from you

Hi Rubab,

You need to listen to authentic English on a daily basis. Analyze how native speakers interact with other and copy them. Do you have access to authentic spoken English?

Do you have access to English radio, TV, movies and audio recordings?

Where did you come across the term "institutional filiation"? By the way, you don't need more time to surround yourself with English you just need some motivation and creativity.

Someone asked me about my institutional filation in order to work with me on my thesis.

[Torsten]

They probably meant your "institutional affiliation" -- in other words, they wanted to know your current status in relation to the university. Maybe they wanted to know who is paying for your program.
