Although the communication process may seem simple, it in essence is not. Certain barriers present themselves throughout the process. Those barriers are factors that have a negative impact on the communication process. Some common barriers include the use of an inappropriate medium (channel); language that becomes a problem when the sender and receiver do not have a similar vocabulary level (Walton and Jeffery, 1995, p.5). In other words using unclear terms that conflict with body language, and technical jargon, will leads to failure and the receiver will fall short to understand readily the purpose of the message.

Since we were communicating face-to-face, this channel especially improved our understanding of each other’s messages.

Communication is essential in everyday life and involves the process of exchanging information between a source and a recipient (Boykins & Carter, 2012). Communication can be verbal, which includes words, grammar and context (Sullivan, 2013). Non-verbal communication is anything related to the body language, sound, voice quality, appearance, personal and social space, eye contact and touch along with tone of voice, facial expression, and even silence (Boykins & Carter, 2012).
