Communication generally means the activity of conveying information through the use of words, gestures, visuals, signals or behavior. In the case of our Podcast we mainly focus of conveying information to the audience through words and gestures. Different languages and cultures have different ways to transmit information from one person to another. In our video, we will try to convey the main idea of the podcast to the Japanese audience in the most understandable for them way: using real-life Japanese phrases and expressions that will make them understand clearly what we were trying to say. Sometimes different words that generally mean the same thing but may have slightly different shades of meaning. Some words may sound more polite or rude to the audience, making them feel in a certain way. That is why it is important to choose the right words and expressions to address your audience in a creation way in order to communicate successfully. During the course of Japanese language we study styles of speech that allows us to master our communication skills.
If I understood correctly, it appears that your podcast project has to do with using polite language and mastering the use of tone in a given language so that we can avoid being offensive and or rude to others. I just read your post for a second time to make sure. "Words and gestures" is quite a broad topic, but I am interested in find out how you will develop this information in your podcast. Best of luck.
