​Communication

What is Communication?​

​Communication is a form of exchanging thoughts and ideas or information through forms like gestures, oral words, written words, letters, messages, phone calls, etc. When we communicate, there will surely be a sender (the one who sends the message/) and a receiver(the one whom the sender is communicating to) as we can tell in the names. There will also be a channel(the way in which they are communicating/the  mode used to communicate the information.) Communication can again be classified into two, depending on the channel! One type is Verbal Communication. The other, Non-Verbal communication.

​Verbal Communication

​When we communicate verbally,

it means we ​communicate with words. Verbal communication can either be done orally or written down, but as long as it contains words it still falls under Verbal Communication.

​Nonverbal Communication

​This term refers to communicating with another without using any form of verbal language. For e.g. A girl who is deaf or has difficulties in speaking may communicate with her teacher with gestures. This is an example for Nonverbal Communication.
