improve my communication skills

The one main thing that has really hindered me in this area has been my shyness. I still have days when I’m more quiet than others, but for whatever reason, I almost feel like a different person a lot of the time nowadays, lol. I’m not so shy, and find that it is a lot easier for me to talk to people than it used to be. Not sure really what changed, but that’s ok, lol :)

hey how can I improve my English? Plz tell me.

A couple of days ago I sent off for a book from amazon called ‘101 ways to improve your communication skills’. It’s probably going to arrive tomorrow, I can’t wait!

I’ve read lots of positive reviews for this book, and it was the first one that came up on google when I searched for books on communication skills, so I’m hoping it’s going to be a help in achieving this goal!

I just realize that knowledge or academic achievement itself are not enough to survive in this life. Friend are always mark me as a book worm person, even though I don’t think that was true. Every time people spoke or chatting, I just like to stay as a listener. I like to just listen and talk less. That is who I am. But then, when i already graduated, this kind of personality make me crucial in some cases. Especially when I have to deal with real stranger world. I realize that silent wouldn’t help much. Its okay for listening, but it is important to get involve in a group of communication.

sfff

I want to be able to communicate my ideas to others. Understand and break down information as I receive any type on communication form others.

I’m going to focus on this, as it’s really important.

• learn to speak more slowly and clearly
• don’t interrupt others to finish their sentences for them.

I’m going to focus on this, particularly after my exams, as it’s really important. Some random ideas:

• video a conversation with someone
• practice explaining something while looking at the mirror (surprisingly hard!)
• learn to speak more slowly and clearly
• don’t interrupt people, or finish their sentences for them! (I’m really, really bad at this!!)
• don’t say things you don’t mean, but try not to openly disagree with people either
