 How to Improve Your Communication Skills in China

Communication skills are vital if you wish to do business in China. In fact, they will make or break your chances of success. So before setting out on a trip to the Orient, ensure that you have done all possible preparatory work. It’s very important to know exactly what kind of people you need to meet and how they may react. If this is not your style, don’t worry! You can always find someone to be your guide. They can take you through the local dialects of Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou and tell you things about their culture and everyday life. When you talk with an expert, the information given will be invaluable to you during your travels. But there is one thing you should never do when travelling to China: try talking with locals in Chinese. This might seem obvious, but sometimes foreigners can get themselves into trouble by doing this. And if you’re traveling to Beijing or Shanghai, it’s likely that you will come across locals with whom you are conversing. Don’t waste much time learning how to speak in Chinese. There are plenty of websites that offer translation services. You can also learn from native speakers how to communicate effectively. And once you develop basic comprehension, you can look for opportunities to practice communicating with them again. For example, you could ask them questions in Chinese about restaurants and other places you like. Once you’ve mastered some of these techniques, you can move forward to more advanced ones.

How to Communicate With Local People

The first step towards improving your ability to communicate with strangers in China is to try communicating with yourself. What does it feel like when you are having a conversation with yourself? Do you tend to interrupt or change topics mid-sentence or use long pauses? Think about whether your answers sound natural or too wordy. Try asking yourself questions such as, “Who did I just speak to?” and “What was my intent?”

If these things occur, they’re probably signs that you should slow down. Take a few moments to compose yourself before continuing. Keep your responses concise so that you don’t lose any understanding of the subject. Remember that in most cases you can only respond to what is said to you, and you will rarely get a straight answer. Even if you say something in response, your message may be interpreted differently by different people. One person may perceive it as a joke or sarcasm while another may think it as criticism. However, don’t assume that everyone will understand and acknowledge what you’re saying. After all, even highly educated and successful individuals struggle to comprehend others’ thoughts. The best approach would then be to repeat your message once more. You may even want to share some funny videos, so that you can see that even the illiterate can be entertained.

To help you become a better communicator, here are a few pointers to follow:

Have a clear goal. Before engaging, ask questions to clarify exactly what you are trying to achieve. Also, ask yourself who else is involved, and why they are engaged. Is there anyone else you need to contact for advice, directions or support? Will that person need to be consulted before making plans or decisions? Ask the right questions. Be sure to formulate and organize your thoughts before speaking on a topic in an attempt to stay focused and avoid distractions. Ensure to keep your audience in mind. Consider a group of people you wish to speak with. Have separate conversations with each individual group member or two groups of friends; the more independent you become in the process, the less likely any of you will remember what was discussed when you next speak. Know when to pause. Most adults in conversation typically take around eight seconds to complete a sentence, and many children (especially young children) tend to spend less than one second. Make sure you’re listening attentively. Pay attention to whether or not someone has spoken before pausing mid-sentence. Use short sentences or simple language to prevent being taken on board. Wait until the correct moment to ask or answer a question. Asking questions early in meetings or conversations can help establish an established relationship that is stronger after the meeting. Speak with clarity and confidence. Never start a conversation off with an uncertain word choice, phrase or sentence structure. Instead try asking “What was your thought?” or “What are your views regarding..” and wait until someone has finished explaining or responding to give the appropriate response. Keep good eye contact. While we usually tend to lean back in our chairs during a conversation, we can also lean forward to keep face-to-face interactions at ease with our interlocutors. Always maintain a firm grip on your chair, especially when sitting on hard surfaces such as carpets and couches, and hold onto your seat belt. Avoid head nodding, hand shaking, neck flapping or rocking. Smile often. Smiling can go a long way.

How to Practice Confidence During Conversations with Strangers in China

Once you get used to opening up to strangers and sharing your experiences, it’s time to test yourself. Some methods you can try include practicing talking to a pet dog in front of a mirror, playing games using words you learned and writing personal statements and messages that you can send to others. Whatever method you choose, pay close attention to how you react and how interested you are in the conversation. Eventually, you will notice that you become more comfortable with the people you are speaking with.

In China, there are several ways in which you can improve your abilities to communicate with peers. First, you can practice talking in front of mirrors. A mirror can act as a window into your subconscious mind where you can ponder over details you wouldn’t otherwise notice. Just as looking in the reflection of a cat can show you its personality, seeing your own reflection in a mirror can reveal certain traits about how well you are able to deal with difficult situations. Another option is to begin a game called “talkin’ on”, where you record yourself answering questions in your day. From time to time, listen to other people’s voices to determine how they think and feel. Then analyze your own responses, using those answers as a model to figure out how to improve yourself. By the end of your journey, you might even find that you became more confident over time by honing your skill!
