field you are from. This is a very important skill.
English is a 'Language' and communication is a 'Skill'! Two very different things. Even after learning good English, your communication can be poor. When required, you won't be able to speak up!

English
Communication is an 'art' that can be learned, that can be highly developed!
English is a language that can be learned! The problem is, a mistake which many
people make... They learn words from the dictionary, and they try to fix it
wherever it is easy! And especially when we try to impress others. Then, search
for strange and hard words, and use them in your sayings for demotivating other
people! Other people will also be impressed that his communication, his English
is very profound! This is a misconception!
Art Of Learning: How to improve English communication
You
have to create your English speaking class in your mind but first, you need to
develop the art! I advise you to learn the art of communication in your mother
tongue. Making eye contact, body language, voice tonality, being proactive, and
these sorts of things. To learn this, English is not required! And side by
side, if you want to improve your English... Keep it general! Keep a small
diary, in which you are putting down hard words! Train your brain on multiple
fronts. Increase your Reading!
Questions to ask yourself:
Are
you reading at the moment? Are you writing at the moment? Do you write daily? Not
in the class, not notes, do you write something? So if you are not reading, if
you are not writing, are you watching something? Are you watching other good
communicators, on YouTube, or somewhere else, Are you? Are you listening to
audios? So, the brain has many ways to receive information, use all of them! It
is an art, just like a muscle of body it can be developed. I don't know who
said this, but this is a famous quote which says Communication works for those,
for those who work at it! If you will work at your communication, you will get
better day by day! If you will work at improving your art of converting your
ideas, do hard-work, you will succeed.
The secret behind English communication skills:
I
will introduce you to a law, which not only in communication but in every field
this law is applicable. It is called, 'The law of paying the price.' Which
simply stated means is: If you want something, you must pay the price. Nothing
is free. If you want something in life, you want to wear a nice branded suit,
you want to go on a nice holiday, and you want to buy a nice camera or
whatever. The things, whatever, the higher the quality, the higher, and the
price you need to pay. Right! But in life's improvement, I am not talking about
the money. Many people think they will achieve everything with their money. Not
going to happen!
Let
me tell you about a real situation, near to my home there was a gym where I saw
a very interesting scene. That in the evening, a big VIP person came to
exercise. He was overweight but there were two friends along with him. Very
well built like bodyguards, on a stylish bike and everything, full drama. One
friend held his towel, the other held his protein shake and water bottle. Okay,
naturally, he would be some big-rich-influential personality's son. But after
doing all this thing, he had to do his own 'push-ups'. It doesn't matter how
rich or influential your father is, you cannot 'pay' someone else to do
'push-ups' for you! So, learn to do your push-ups! Which means, to develop the
communication, efforts had to be put in? Without your efforts, there is no way,
no guide, no shortcut, by which you can achieve it. It's going to take efforts.
It will take the time it will take hard work.
But,
here's what you need, you need good role models. Like whom do you wish to learn
to communicate? Listen to TV news reporters, journalists, people who are good
at the art of communication.
How to use this art for improving your English
communication skills:
How one person is influencing the crowd, and how I can use this? This comes first, words come later! I don't know if it the Howard University study which says that, words are only 7% of the entire communication from 1 person to them. Body-language is vast, visual is huge, your body posture, your tone of the sound, and many things. They're all combining. So, if you determine in your heart, that I need to improve in this art because this will be very beneficial in the future when you go into the work environment, you will have 100 different ideas. But if you cannot express them, what's the point? Someone else will come, he knows how to express, his ideas will be heard, he will move ahead in life.

And then you'll say, 'his good
luck was better!' No, nonsense. He has developed a skill over some time in
which you are slightly weak at and you can develop too. So, you need to remove
this mental block. Nobody is born a good communicator. You going to work at it
and you can! It's like a muscle, the more you use, the better it gets. Raise
your hand when you're feeling nervous. You are in the big auditorium, some
guest speaker has come in. I have done this! And at that time when, 'any
question?' And instant silence in the entire hall... At that moment, you feel,
I have it in my mind, should I ask or not, at that time... Raise Your Hand! The
first time I raised my hand, my brain sat down! Okay, I forgot my question. But
still, be stubborn, raise your hand! By the time you do it, 3 or 4 or 5 times,
you will make it.
A common issue in English communication:
When
you are talking to people, who are in the same positions or on the same level,
you will not find it difficult But when you need to communicate with a senior
person or higher-level person, then you will find it difficult. There is only
one solution to overcome this issue. Talk to more people who are in higher
positions. The more you'll get comfortable, you are likely to realize that they
don't bite! They are also people! And they also listen to the words, these are
also normal human beings. Talking more and getting comfortable is the only way,
there is no shortcut around it.
The
best way is to make yourself uncomfortable. Put yourself into those situations,
where you are feeling uncomfortable, and you will emerge victoriously. But if
you'll remain in your comfort zone, like always, then what will you receive?
Nothing one of the definitions of insanity is, 'do the same that you are doing
as always, and every evening pray to the lord to change your destiny!' It
doesn't happen this way! Some poet has said it beautifully when. 'Lord has not
changed the circumstances of that person, who is not concerned to change his
circumstances!' Today, if you determine on how to change your circumstances, in
terms of improving your English communication skills. After 6 months, with your
efforts, let’s see where the results are. But without efforts, nothing will be
possible!
