Does this mean both should speak/both should listen? How do you listen to God?

And is communication possible without words?

Oh, ye of little faith!

What do you think the Bible is? God's communication to us. We pray to communicate to God, then read his Word for his communication back to us. Trust that what you read is what God wants you to know.

It's truly amazing how everytime you read the bible, something you have read many times will suddenly be clear, and somehow it always seems to be what we need at the time.

Pray = You talk to God.

Read God's Word = He talks to you.

At least y'all are on the same page. I'll give you that. Beyond that you have a very limited view of what prayer is. Do you remember the story of Elijah hiding in the cave? A mighty storm came, but it wasn't God there. A fire came, but God wasn't in the fire, an earthquake, but God wasn't in the earthquake. Finally a soft whisper came and that was God speaking to him. In the quiet voice.

Elijah didn't search the Word to find a message from God, he searched the stillness.
