“Communication is the act of expressing (or transmitting) ideas, information, knowledge, thoughts, and feelings, as well as understanding what is expressed by others. The communication process involves both sending and receiving messages and can take many forms.”
Just start working on my goals
My goal is to communicate effectively. Communication is not just about speaking good. It is two way process which you have to create the exact understanding in the mind of recipient that you have in your mind.
I want to improve my communication skills particularly english communication.In the success of any organization communication is the key factor. Good organizations demand their employees to have good communication skills.Mostly job interviews are taken in english. English is an international language and also it is preferred in market place.Good english communication skills are very important in any organization or in a daily life where you need to speak in english.So I have set my goal to improve my english communication in 2–3 months.
#3 Steps to improve communication skills
Step#1:
Listen native speakers and understand:
I started watching old cricket matches with english commentary.The first step towards communicating effectively is to understand what other person is talking. Cricket is something that I am really excited about.This time I listened commentary carefully and tried to understand what commentator wants to say. I am very hopeful that listening more english speakers will help me understanding english better and later helps me in communicating.
Step#2
Increase Vocabulary:
I started increasing words in my vocabulary.You cannot communicate effectively if you do not have enough words to say. Your treason of words should be that filled that would help you communicate smoothly without any hesitation. Following Amal Academy online courses helped me to add some words in my vocabulary. I made small notes what those words mean and wrote their synonyms. Later I staple them together. I made a diary where I started measuring my progress.
Step#3
Just start speaking english,Trace faults,Remove them :
When you are speaking, the most important part of communication from your side is to develop understanding in the mind of recipient with your words.If you fails to create the exact image in others mind,you definitely had a problem in speaking. I started speaking in front of mirror this week and I made a video. After watching the video, I realized that I did not say some words properly. Later I figured it out this was because of my nervousness that I started speaking very fast.To overcame this situation,I broke the sentences in pieces I tried again. This time I practiced it with my elder brother. I improved alot from the previous attempts.It was very helpful experience.
