Introduction

Naim - Communication is a process beginning with a sender who encodes the message and passes it through some channel to the receiver who decodes the message. Communication is fruitful if and only if the messages sent by the sender is interpreted with same meaning by the receiver. Misunderstanding happen when a different word on same pronunciation. This is because of different accent.
