Good listener or speaker

Hi, Ya i agree with your point. But few people are of this kind, they know how to speak but hardly they to listen to others. I have seen such people. Like i can group them as DOMINATING FOLKS. :)) Take care :)

Listening and speaking, both are equally important to communicate with another person. I feel I am a mix of both. I can listen as well as speak.

me? im more of a listiner happy lotting and have a nice day

I think the two kind of fall hand in hand together. Sometimes someone just needs someone to sit and listen to what they have to say so maybe they can get something out of their head and off their chest. But other times they need someone to listen to them and to also speak their thoughts on what they're talking about. But I believe it's true that you do have to listen in order to be able to speak about it. Being able to do both is a great quality. I depend on my friends that will listen to me and help me through lifes daily dilemmas. I hope that in return I can be a good listener to those who need me during hard times.

i think i am more of a good listener then a speaker, but i think i am a good speaker when i know what i am talking about, some times in college we have to talk in front of the class, but i tend to be very bad it coz i dont no exectly what i am meant to say or i dont have much idea of the topic but when you have to do a talk about some thing you like i think i am good at that because i will pick some i know a lot about. Have a nice day!

We explore personality and character for the sake of self-improvement at The Ethics Box. The latest series is about speaking and communications. See http://www.ethicsbox.com and see if there is a fit. I think becoming a good listener is a good way to store up different views on any subject. It becomes a way to speak more extemporaneously. You can even mentally have a file system to retrieve information.

Medical Assistant need to be a good listener and a good speaker. I am a Medical Assistant and I have to listen carefully to what the patient is saying, and some times patients do say clearly why did they come to the clinic, they start with a story and I have understand from the story why he/she is in the clinic. Medical Assistant should also know how to talk we cannot tell the patient every thing about the patient we have cut short and brief the information. Only a good listener can be a good speaker.

people say that i am both good as a listener & speaker.. I am associated with teaching profession.. so i do believe both the attributes are necessary in order to understand others & make others understand you.. I know there is a proverb that good listeners are popular everywhere because they allow others to speak..but let me tell you the truth of life.. good speakers are equally popular everywhere.. Many of our life's decision based on how we speak, make our point clear, convince others with our way of speaking.. So yes.. to me..both are equally important in life..

Hi there Harsha, and welcome to Mylot I see that you are relatively new. When I first read your question I had a different response prepared until I read your subsequent responses to other people's answers. So if I may offer you my opinion... It appears to me that English is a second language for you. If this is true I think being a good listener means something different in your situation then it would for a native speaker of English like myself. When you try to learn a new language you are learning words and their meanings. Simply so you can communicate and know what each other is talking about. For example, you start by naming objects etc. That is learning to understand basic English and what others are saying to you. I think, if you are learning to speak English as a second language it is much more complex. In order to speak a language you must not only know the meaning of a word, but also be able to take that basic meaning of a word in fit it into a larger context of cultural differences, slang, and phrases that may not mean anything to you if you did not grow up as part of the culture. If I understand your subsequent questions after about learning how to speak English. That is much more difficult to accomplish. You would almost need to be able to meet regularly with a group of people in order to have every day conversations in order to learn, simple phrases and what they mean, cultural references, and slang terms that very from place to place. I guess what I'm saying is when you try to learn a new language there are actually three things happening. First, I think you'll learn to read the language and some basic vocabulary, next you then try to write simple phrases and responses, and then finally you attempt to speak the language. And as I've already said this is the most complex as often you do not have the background, the culture and the slang which everybody is used to using that varies from the area to area, even though everyone is still considered to be speaking English. For instance there is a big difference between British English, and United States English. Different words have different meanings as well as some different spellings. I hope this helps you a bit and I admire your desire to learn another language. I too would love to be able to get up the courage to learn another language, for me I would like to learn French as it is the other official language of Canada which is where I live. Good luck to you and happy Mylotting!
