What is communication?
communication is sending messages to other people(receivers).
Types of communication
- Verbal communication.
This is the most common of the many types of communication that we all have been using for so long. Verbal means you talk to each other. Uttering words and phrases and sentences is considered a verbal communication. - Non-verbal communication. Non speaking, no words uttered, no noise type of communication; this is how a non-verbal communication is defined. This is normally used when one is not capable to speak. May it be a temporary illness that made you lost your speech, or it can be a long term sickness that will need you to learn to communicate without the use of speech.
- Visual communication.
From the term itself, it is those types of communication that is relayed to you visually. An example would be looking on a locator or directory. You use your visuals to communicate with the map or the visual ad that you see to let you know where you should go. It communicates with you as you look at it and tells you what to do and where to go. - Written communication.
Writing is also another of the types of communication. If you do not have the ability to speak and communicate by the use of your mouth and tongue, the paper and the pen will help you. You can write anything that you want to say. It will help you tell others of what is in your thoughts and let them understand by reading your writings.
It does not matter how you express yourself through communication. What is important is there are many means to choose from to be able to relay ones message to another and let one’s thoughts be heard. Expressing oneself is healthy and can boost self-esteem. Always try to be yourself and let others value you as you.
