Communication Types and Methods

Communication is defined as the sharing or exchanging of information from one person to another by the means of speaking, writing, or using signals. It is divided into three main parts:

• Body language (55%)
• Style (38%)
• Words (7%)

There are different types and methods in communicating. These are Conversation/Verbal, Gesture/Non-verbal, Written, Visual and Multimedia.

In Verbal communication/Conversation is the most common on how to communicate with others. Uttering words and phrases and sentences is also considered a verbal communication. In Gesture/Non-verbal is the flow of the conversation is non speaking, no words uttered, no noise type of communication. In written it used for when you have to provide detailed information such as figures and facts. In visual it is for photographs, films, etc..
