NARRATOR: Communication is an essential part of our daily lives. It is how we express ourselves, share our thoughts and ideas, and connect with others. In this video, you will learn about the two main types of communication, verbal and nonverbal communication. 

Verbal communication is the use of speech or spoken words to exchange information, emotions, and thoughts. Nonverbal communication, on the other hand, is the use of body language, gestures, facial expressions, and tone of voice to convey a message. It is a powerful tool that can be used to communicate feelings, emotions, and attitudes without the use of words. 

Both verbal and non-verbal communication are important, and they often work together to create a complete message. Nonverbal cues can help us understand the tone and intention behind someone's words. At the same time, verbal communication provides context and clarity to the message being conveyed. 

Verbal communication is essential in negotiations where clear and explicit language is critical, while non-verbal communication is essential in interpersonal communication where emotional cues play an important role. 

Here are some examples of verbal communication. Face-to-face conversation. Giving a speech telephonic conversation. Sending voice note. Taking interviews. Group discussion in the workplace. 

Here are some examples of nonverbal communication. Nodding head in approval. Showing a thumbs up sign to express positive feelings. Smiling at someone. A confident handshake is a welcoming gesture. Giving a hug to show affection. To talk in a raised voice while in anger. 

Nonverbal communication can be more effective than verbal communication in some situations. For example, when someone says something but their body language suggests something different, we are more likely to believe their nonverbal cues over their words. Nonverbal communication is also essential in situations where words are not enough to convey a message, such as when comforting a loved one, expressing empathy, or showing respect. 

On the other hand, verbal communication is essential in negotiations where clear and explicit language is necessary, but it is more easily influenced by external factors such as language barriers, background noise, and distractions. 

In today's world, we are increasingly relying on technology for communication, and this has made it more challenging to convey nonverbal cues. When communicating through text, for example, we lose the tone of voice and facial expressions that help us understand the message. It is therefore essential to be aware of the limitations of each type of communication and use them appropriately. 

Understanding the nuances of each type of communication can help us become better communicators and build stronger relationships with others. Thanks for watching this video. If you find this video informative, please like the video and don't forget to subscribe to Education Leaves Extra.
