Just talk to them like they are real people, because they are. They all have their likes, dislikes, hobbies, sports, etc. I have found that you can talk to anyone for a short period of time without knowing anything about them. This leads to getting to know them and other topics of conversation.

Commuting is the act of traveling between home and a workplace or school. Since I hate trying to hold a converstion in traffic, the best way to commute well with middle age is to shut up and let them drive.
If you mean to communicate with them, which is to hold a conversation, then just try to avoid using language that is particular to youth. If someone comes up to me and talks about "I jus got some mad cheddar, so I's going down to lay on the bling". I'm probabily going to want to treat them for heat stroke. (that's a direct quote from someone)

It's really not very difficult. Being a good listener and try to be respectful are the main ingredients for communication. And EVERYBODY loves to laugh - find a common ground and build from there. I'm part of the 'older person' generation and have lots of younger friends. Hope this helps 'cause we all have a lot to offer each other every day.

If you want to commute or communicate with middle age or older people -- just be respectful -- polite -- ask them about their family, job, etc. Loud music and bad language is insulting.

Well when commuting with "persons who are in the middle age or older", just don't play your music too loud. You know the rap stuff and the like. They don't like that.
Doode - you mean communicate.

Not sure how old you are, but why would it be any different communicating with older people than middle age or younger? They just want to be treated with respect, no vulgar language and to be asked about themselves. Just cause someone is old doesn't mean they are useless or have no place or purpose in life. They have lived long and could teach us many things. Remember to treat them the way you hope to be treated when you are their age!

It is the same as with any other person: listen more than you speak and show them respect. Take the opportunity to learn from them by asking questions. They have lived longer than you and have experience you do not. My grandmother helped me a lot when I asked her what it felt like to be 80 (she's 94 now). My grandmother said she felt the same as she did when she was 16 in her mind but her body just won't cooperate.

Commute well? All you do is get on a bus with them and talk pleasantly. You will have a lovely commute.

I'm sorry I don't understand your question, do you mean communicate or commute. One means talking with , the other means taking some kind of transportation with them

Accept the principals & employ the rules of reading, writing & arithmetic. [Don't start a sentence with lower case letters & capatalize 'I', use spell check & dictonaries ('communicate') & respect your elders.] You'll do just fine!
