Three Fundamental Types of Communication:

There are three fundamental types of communication that everything else falls under. First is interpersonal communication – one-on-one interaction. Second is group communication, which involves three or more people and can include organizational communication, hierarchy communication, and strategic communication. The third represents more than 50% of Mario's research, intrapersonal communication – how we converse with ourselves. This is the bedrock of all other communication types.
