GOOD AFTERNOON mga senpai, I’m josh and today I’m excited to do my first
reaction paper about communication,
There are 3 main categories of communication barriers that can make effective
communication challenging.
for the person that seeing this right now, this movie name is rush hour
and the main character here is my idol Jackie chan.
At the end Jackie Chan reveal that he also can speak English and the
detective reaction is priceless HAHAHAHA
Most of the people in the world do not speak English or, even if they use, it is their
second or third language. If the speaker and receiver do not use same language and
words, there is no meaning to the communication. Not using the words that other
person understands makes the communication ineffective and prevents message
from being conveyed.
First of course, show respect for the local language, Locals are sometimes suspicious
of foreign travellers, but if you show the right level of respect, admiration and
appreciation for their language and customs, they will warm up to you.
Use technology: If you have a smartphone, download a language app that can
articulate local phrases for you.
Don’t’ be too sensitive: Remember you’re the foreigner and the oddity. The locals
may pass comments in their languages, some of it offensive to you. Mostly they think
you won’t understand. Even if you do, don’t react to negative judgments of your
body or clothing style.
Check if they speak English: Find out if the person speaks English before you start
stumbling in the local tongue. You just might be lucky to find people who can
manage a few words in English
As I mention earlier Speak slowly and clearly is good: Articulate each word carefully,
so that your accent does not confuse the listener. Don’t speak loudly – people do this
at times, and it’s very insulting. Local people aren’t deaf, you know. Stick to the
easiest words you can manage – you don’t need to string them together to form
sentences. Forget grammar
