is an informal or casual conversation between two or more people.
- “People engage in social conversations to establish relationships or maintain them.” -
It is one way of gaining new acquaintances or friends.
- “How to speak, what to speak, when to speak, and whom one is speaking are all important
considerations in building relationships.”
ADVANTAGES OF F2F INTERACTION

note visual cue through facial expressions, gestures, movements, or even objects from the
person you are communicating with.
