Communication is the most important in every individual's life. Without communication there's no purpose of living in this world. Communication acts as a bridge between different people. Without communication it's very difficult to survive in this competitive world. Communication between different people from different cultures is also more important all over the world. There are different ways of communicating and communication differs in all the fields which includes business, family background, social lives, within friends and in academic progress.

Another way to become a best intercultural communicator is to have good communication with colleagues, friends, families of different culture.

Without self awareness one cannot become a successful intercultural communicator and this is the first most important step. Are you a direct or indirect speaker? Do people hear to your statement when u speak out? Just think of how you became a communicator and how have you developed your own style of your own culture.
2). Best learner:
One should focus on other people's ideas rather than thinking of your ideas and try to build intercultural communication.
3). Curiosity:
One should be curious about other cultures.

Travelling around the whole world can make one to know about different cultures.

One can learn more and more if one observes the other speaking and how they communicate with each other.
