Effective communicator

Effective communicator. What does it mean to be an effective communicator? Well most people will think that it means that the person can converse well in their spoken language, mostly English. However, I think that being an effective communicator means that you can communicate to people in a manner that they are able to understand. For example if you can speak excellent english but cannot get people to understand what you want then you are not being a effective communicator. But however if you can speak the minimal english but is able to get the message across whether by using sign language or by pointing to what you want then you are exemplifying the characteristics of being an effective communicator.

Now this may not be the only way you can be an effective communicator. A person who uses strong words that is easy to understand but say a lot is also being an effective communicator. Being an effective communicator is one of the most important things that you will learn. For example, if you lived in a country where you could not speak the language that everyone uses, but you still manage to make every one understand what you are trying to say and use words like "Please", "Thank you" people would understand that you are being polite and they would be more than pleased to help. 

I would also like to thank rose and wincent for their comments.
