Communication is a two way process that involves a sender, a receiver and a message. Through communication we exchange information. In order to send the right information we have to know some communication skills. For example we have to send a clear message, talk right express clearly. Communication is essential nowadays. Without communication everything would be chaos. We communicate with family members, with relatives, with colleagues, friends, even strangers or people that sell us different stuff. In order to lead a normal life communication has to exist. There are many people that lack communication skills, but they still manage to communicate with others. Nowadays more and more companies require communication skills. It`s very important to know how to talk with someone, especially if it`s a client.




Communication hs four types. there is the verbal communication, the non verbal one, informal and formal. The verbal one refers to the spoken language we all know and talk and to the written communication. Non verbal means body language. Informal communication is the way we talk to each other every day, meaning casual conversations. And the formal one is very official, is usually seen at work, at business meetings, and with new people. Communication either way you look at is successful only if the message sent is clearly understood.

The Different Types of Nonverbal Communication are : gestures, posture, proxemics, paralinguistics, facial expressions, appearance, eye gaze, haptics etc. Our gestures are always interpreted for instance waving or pointing. We have to be careful what gestures we make in order to send the right message. Posture also gives a lot of information staying with your arms crossed or with your legs crossed means you are defensive and you won`t let nobody in. Proxemics is similar to „personal space” meaning the space you leave between you and the person you are talking too. Some people stay very close others prefer to stay at distance. Either option can be interpreted.

Facial expressions are the most easy to read. When you are sad or upset your face frowns just as when you are happy you smile. Paralinguistics refers to tone of voice, loudness etc. For example if a person talks on a lower voice it could mean lack of interest and a loud speaker could be seen as very enthusiastic. Eye gaze includes looking and staring, glancing etc, and this could also be interpreted. Much of the flirting is done through eye gaze, through blinking. Appearance is very important. We judge a person after it`s appearance, hair style, clothes, colors etc. A person dressed in black could could mean that is not in a good mood or that likes to dress classic.The last one, haptics refers to touching. Communicating through touching is mostly between two people when getting intimate.

As a conclusion these are the Different Types of Nonverbal Communication. In order to have a successful communication we have to take in consideration these things also. Body language is as important as verbal communication so, we should pay attention, just for practice, to others body language.
