About Communication

From this Podcast experience I expect to learn proper Japanese table mannerisms and sayings, as well as be able to effectively communicate those mannerisms in an effective clear way to a Japanese speaking audience.

Communication as a whole is effectively relating an idea or ideas from one individual to the next.  This can be done orally or through writing or hand gestures.  Effectively communicating with one another requires clear use of the system involved (example: correctly pronouncing your words if you're speaking, correcting using signs if you're communicating via sign language, etc.), and for both members of the communication process to be capable in that communication type.  Effectively done, communication will relay ideas or concepts from one subject to another.

To communicate effectively, our group is going to make sure we pronounce words clearly and precisely, and provide subtitles for our communication.  This will give the audience the clearest possible intake of what we are trying to communicate, even when our Japanese is not as clear or precise as we would want it to be.

  2. Haha, ideas on communication are identical, besides the fact that I use the word "knowledge" and you use the word "idea".

    You're right: pronunciation will be difficult: when attempting to speak Japanese with actual Japanese people (who aren't my teachers), I end up having to repeat myself 3 times before they get what I'm trying to convey... :(

    いい日本語の話す方はとても難しいね。。。
