saves time and money oral communication is a faster and cheaper mode than written communication you don't need to spend on preparing written documents so it is a costeffective way to communicate instant feedback when you speak the other person hears you right away they can quickly react or respond to what you are saying less paperwork you don't need to write things down when you talk so there

action builds friendlier relationships speaking with someone in a conversation can help build a more more friendly and informal relationship with people useful in emergencies when there is an urgent situation talking is the best way to communicate because you need a quick response quick clarifications if someone doesn't understand something you can explain it right away when you are speaking to them moving on to the demerits of oral communication greater risk of misunder understanding when someone conveys a message through spoken words there is a higher chance of people not fully grasping the message because you cannot go back to review it so misunderstandings are more likely to happen poor speaking skills for a message to be effective a speaker needs to be good at communicating however a bad speaker can mess up the message next not suitable for long messages it is quite obvious that talking is not the best way to convey lengthy messages this is because the person listening might not remember all the details and important points could be overlooked lacks legal proof since there is no written record of what was said in oral communication a speaker might deny later what they said this makes oral communication less valuable in formal organizations where documentation is important so friends this brings me to the end of this lesson I hope the concept of oral
