Communication

What I expect to learn from this podcast:


- Being able to use good vocabulary to convey thoughts, emotions, feelings - transmit a message to the other party and be able to understand the other's point of view and opinions as well.
- Good sentence structure used in simple ways to get your point accross and make the conversation interesting at the same time
- how to best communicate in Japanese: cadence, syllabic emphasis, tone, facil expression and body language are all essential when trying to embrace japanese culture and make one understood in a conversation. Similarly, we should respond to the other parties comments with body language to confim/reject what they are saying.
- natural and effortless pronunciation, compound sentence formation
- learn new grammar patterns and hear known patterns reinforced
- sharpen listening skills through practice
- Japanese conceptions of city wildlife
- Learn about Japanese culture by relating to potential viewers and making sure the podcast interests them.

What i think about communication:


gaining a broader/deeper understanding of other while getting your points accross. be able to effortlessly present, debate and support the ideas we are trying to get accross to the other while making sure the dialogue is a two-way traffic and not a monologue. It is essential that all parties are able to feel confortable enough to make their views heard

individuals share their experiences, culture and way of thinking through exchange of ideas

  1. Hey, that's pretty much I wrote! I agree (naturally); communication is all about the exchange of ideas.
