5. INTRODUCTION
Communication is an essential aspect of
human interaction, but it is not always
easy. There are many barriers to
effective communication that can
prevent people from understanding each
other and achieving their goals.

6. LANGUAGE BARRIERS
 One of the most obvious barriers
to effective communication is
language.
 When people speak different
languages, it can be difficult to
understand each other.

7. To overcome this barrier, it is
important to use clear and simple
language, avoid jargon or technical
terms, and provide translations or
interpreters when necessary.

OVERCOME?

8. CULTURAL
BARRIERS
 Cultural differences can also create
barriers to communication.
 People from different cultures may
have different values, beliefs, and
communication styles.

9. To overcome this barrier, it is
important to learn about other
cultures, be respectful of differences,
and adapt your communication style
to fit the situation.

OVERCOME?

10. PHYSICAL BARRIERS
 Physical barriers such as distance,
noise, and technology can also be a
hurdles in communication.
 For example, if you are trying to
communicate with someone who is
far away, it can be difficult to hear
them or see their body language.

11. To overcome this barrier, it is
important to use technology like
video call, speak clearly and loudly,
and eliminate distractions like
background noise.
HOW TO
OVERCOME?

12. EMOTIONAL BARRIERS
Emotions can also create barriers to
communication. If someone is angry,
upset, or anxious, they may not be
able to communicate effectively.

13. To overcome this barrier, it is
important to listen actively,
acknowledge the person's emotions,
and remain calm and empathetic.
HOW TO
OVERCOME?

14. PERCEPTUAL BARRIERS
 Finally, perceptual barriers can
also hinder communication.
 People may have different
perceptions of reality, which can
lead to misunderstandings and
miscommunications.

15. To overcome this barrier, it is
important to be aware of your own
biases and assumptions, ask
questions to clarify information, and
try to see things from the other
person's perspective.
HOW TO
OVERCOME?

16. GENDER BARRIERS
Relationships and education are
common ways men and women are
pitted against each other. This
barrier arises because men and
women have different ways of
thinking and communication.

17. Overcoming barriers in gender
communication isn't simple but can
be made clear with a little patience
and understanding.

OVERCOME?
