Answer preview
Intercultural communication entails both the verbal and non-verbal components of interacting with others (Pipas and Jaradat, 2014). The aspects of intercultural communication that I am deeply versed in is always asking for feedback. Whether the audience is responsive, I tend to engage my audience to obtain a direct and honest response.
