A conversation in which neither party is listening to the other was dubbed a “duologue” by Abraham Kaplan, a philosopher who died in 1993. A duologue, he suggested, is more than a monologue but less than a dialogue.

It's true, it's not easy to communicate so that the person you're talking to understands and thus avoid the duologue. In my opinion, you have to have an empathetic attitude so that the person you are talking to understands the words you use, avoid emotional discharge, but above all listen.
I like the active listening method
It is about listening to the other person attentively and in a non-directive way, establishing trust, respect and empathy with the other person so that he or she can express him or herself freely, without fear of hasty judgment and without pressure.

I agree that active listening is key, but I would propose that mindful deep listening is most beneficial. Thich Nhat Hanh says, “The intention of deep listening and loving speech is to restore communication, because once communication is restored, everything is possible.”

When we listen, normally we are only reacting, personalizing, and creating stories in our mind. Deep listening is to drop the ego and to listen with compassionate attention and open-heartedness. We d listen so attentively that we will be able to hear what the other person is saying and also what is being left unsaid.

I like it because tuning in to body, speech, and mind is key but how difficult!

Yes! It is difficult, but I believe it will alleviate a great deal of pain and suffering in the other person that we are listening to.
