feel comfortable communicating.

communication channels are obtainable, and less technology is obligatory.

barriers, the advantages and disadvantages of each communication channel
should be unspoken so that a suitable channel can be used to overcome the
physical barriers.

example, a receiver with condensed hearing may not grab the sum of a
spoken conversation, especially if there is significant surroundings noise.

However, even when communicating in a similar language, the terms used in
a message may act as a barrier if it is not easy to understand by the receiver.

communication, the reply of the receiver can be understood. But in the case of

process of feedback should be adopted by the sender.
