Language is a modern tool of
communication used by us. In the early phases of evolution, communication between
two individuals would take place with the help of hand gestures, verbal sounds
and facial expressions. Regardless of the absence of words, they were always
able to convey their messages well enough. Despite the fact that we require a
typical language to interact in an improved way, it isn’t impossible to
have a conversation with another person who cannot speak the same language as
you.
Languages may be regional but there are
some expressions and gestures which are universal. For instance, a smile means a
happy face all over the world. The use of such universal gestures can make
communication more effective with foreigners. In some cases, pictorial
depiction can be an extraordinary approach to express our thoughts alongside
hand gestures.
A couple of years back, I was setting
out to another city by train .The traveler seated next to me was a Japanese. I
helped her place her luggage in the overhead compartment, after which she
initiated a conversation. It didn’t take me long to figure out, that she wasn’t
exceptionally familiar with English, however that didn’t prevent us from
having a conversation. With the help of hand signals and drawings, we talked
about ourselves and had an interesting conversation. She enlightened me with a
bundle of stories about her culture, while I acquainted her with Hindi music.
The reason we could talk without much hiccups was the fact that we respected
each other’s situation and tried to overcome it.
All in all, talking to someone without a
common language might be troublesome, however certainly not impossible,
provided both parties make efforts to understand each other.
