Importance of Listening for Effective Communication
Becoming a better listener is the key to becoming a better communicator, even in a second language like English. By focusing on the other person and truly listening to them, you can build stronger relationships and build trust. This not only reduces self-consciousness about language skills but also boosts confidence and fluency. It is essential to shift the focus away from your own thoughts and language concerns to actively pay attention to what the other person is saying. Redirecting negative self-talk and giving genuine attention helps in understanding and responding naturally in conversations.
