MAKE ATTEMPTS TO OVERCOME LANGUAGE BARRIERS
Complicated or unfamiliar words, complex sentence structures and long sentences, and the way words are emphasised, can all be obstacles to effective communication. Jargon, which is specialised technical terms or phrases, and slang can block communication when receivers do not know their meaning. All these are considered as language barriers. Language barriers are a common challenge in the multicultural society. What native speakers often do not realize that it is not the other person's accent but their own way of speaking that creates the greatest barriers to effective communication. Use the strategies below to ensure you're not putting up your own roadblocks to effective international communication.
