Communication is such a huge life skill. It is a key component to any type of relationship. Even nonverbal communication is an effective way to talk. Such a wonderful, informative post.
Communication is so important! I try to always convey my thoughts properly to people.
Never thought about all the different ways we communicate. I loved learning more about this
Thank you for this article. Communication is so important in every aspect of life and sometimes a misunderstanding is just not communicating properly.
very interesting post, I see that you put a lot of effort here. it definitely helps a lot to communicate with other people better, deepening the understanding
I remember I had an entire year’s course on communication whilst in uni, and another one on non verbal and symbolism. It was pretty interesting.
There are various ways of communication and every way is effective. Communicating helps people to express their ideas and feelings, and it, at the same time, helps us to understand emotion and thoughts of the others. As a result, we will develop affection or hatred toward other people, and positive or negative relationships will be created.
This is so informative! I had no idea!
This was a really helpful article in understanding the different forms of communication. I have a hard time with communication so I am glad I got to read this and get a feel for the different types.
Yes. There are SO many different types of communication. And some are certainly NOT effective at all. For instance, sarcasm.
I find cultural and traditional difference to be a great hindrance to miscommunictaion. The accent and the choice of words are different and will be taken out of context.
