How to improve communication skills? Is it improving the language or polishing the content?

Do you need to improve your communication? If so how?

Update:

----------------------------------------...

Don’t forget to star, if you find the question interesting. However I always ask myself this question, why do people answer, if they don’t find the question interesting … :) :) :)

    Both are important. When you are speaking, whether one on one or in a group, you have to consider your audience and make sure they understand what you are trying to say. This means making sure you speak clearly, loudly if the person is hard of hearing, using simple words if the person is young or uneducated, and pulling out your best vocabulary words if ther person finds himself or herself to be intellectually superior.

    To answer your second question, sometimes I star a question because I can't answer and I want to help my contact get more answers!

    Improving the communication skill includes improvement of language as well as polishing the content . The same thing if one tells in a polite way , using correct words would be impressive and acceptable to the people rather than struggling for words or spoken rudely .

    To improve athletic skills, you train and then practice, practice, practice. It's no different with communications skills. First, learn more about effective communication. The net or your local library both offer great resources. Then, if you want to hone your verbal communications skills, join a discussion group that focuses on topics of interest to you; volunteer to teach or tutor others in an area in which you're skilled; or join a debating team. To improve written communications skills: write! Write letters to distant friends and family; keep a diary or journal; write articles for newsletters or the local paper; start blogging; or even answer questions at Yahoo answers.

    Communication is the only means to transfer one's thought. To bring out thoughts you have to write, speak or use gestures. Nowadays, you have text messaging and emails too. To improve these skills you have to continuously do any of the above.

    To improve communication skills, you must be able to talk to people on their own level, you cannot converse above or below their level of intelligence. Use of slang is also very important as well.

    I guess it depends on what you wish to communicate. If you mean by this quality ideas, you simply need to be a reflective person. If something else, like everyday chat, you need to be very outgoing in personality, be familiar with all subjects that are up-to-date, with fashionable stuff... the way you express yourself is also important.
