A conversation is a form of interactive, spontaneous communication, especially an informal one, between two or more people, in which news and ideas are exchanged. Typically it occurs in spoken communication although written exchanges are also sometimes referred to as conversations. The development of conversational skills in a new language is a frequent focus of language teaching and learning.
One element of conversation is discussion: sharing opinions on subjects that are thought of during the conversation. In polite society the subject changes before discussion becomes dispute. For example, if theology is being discussed, no one is insisting a particular view be accepted.
There are certain situations, typically encountered while traveling, which result in strangers sharing what would ordinarily be an intimate social space such as sitting together on a bus or airplane. In such situations strangers are likely to share intimate personal information they would not ordinarily share with strangers.
Conversing with one’s self also called intrapersonal communication, conversing with one’s self is sometimes able to help solve problems, or serve therapeutic purposes, such as the avoidance of silence.
