1. What does it mean "communication"?

At the beginning, there is an important question of what communication realy means. In fact, we have to clarify some elementary words (or terms) connected to this topic as well.

Try to describe the meaning of following terms words according to your understanding (after that you can click on each question and read the definition):

What is "a language"?

What is it "speech"?

What is it "tongue"?

It must be recognized that communication is a social phenomenon (one can not develop his/her human communication skills outside of a human group/society/community).

There are more targets of communication process:

  1. information exchange
  2. interaction of two or more individuals
  3. meeting and sharing within a human group/community.

Finally, the most highest goal of quality interpersonal communication is understanding each other (which is not allways easy and obvious)!
