Communication Skills: Understanding the Speaker

Your submission should be around 400 words. Please use full sentences and paragraphs in your assignment, and remember I am looking for depth of reflection and analysis. Do not simply answer the questions. Any support materials you use must have an in-text citation and a reference using APA 7th edition formatting.

What else did you learn?
