About Communication

What do you expect to learn from the podcast project?

  • The difference between Japanese and American universities 
  • Study habits of other people, especially Japanese students
  • How to effectively use Japanese to describe Columbia
  • More places to study at Columbia during midterms/finals week 

What does communication mean to you?
  • Being able to express ideas clearly
  • Understanding what others are saying and asking for clarification
  • Listening well to what others are saying
  • Meeting up regularly to express ideas
  • Taking the time to explain something if the other person does not fully understand
  • Being honest and objective

  1. I really like the way you defined communication. Not many people mention the aspects from a listener's point of view, but listening to and understanding your interlocutors is very important.
    I am looking forward to watching and learning form your podcast project.
