About Communication

1) The most effective communication employs a lucid and concise manner to be as informative and persuasive as possible. One should consider their audience and tailor the method of conveying the desired message accordingly, making sure not to use jargon. In our podcast, to communicate effectively we should make sure to explain all unknown terms or locations in the dialogue that would be unfamiliar to a native Japanese speaker who has never been to NY.

2) From this project I expect to become better at speaking Japanese fluidly, to learn more vocabulary, and to learn new grammatical patterns. Communication to me means the transfer of ideas through various means, either visual, aural or otherwise.
