The answer is both yes and no. In some cultures, the body language used to say hellos and goodbyes, and even to express feelings is the same. It is understood by everyone, no matter where they蒺re from. In other cultures, however, some body gestures are the same or similar, but they have very different meanings. For example, count two on your fingers. If you蒺re British, you would be holding up your index finger and middle finger. But if you蒺re from other European countries, such as Germany, France and Spain, your thumb and index finger would symbol the number. This is simple to understand, as schools in those countries teach counting starting with the thumb, while in British schools, counting starts by using the index finger. Another example of nonverbal communication is touch. At times, something as simple as saying “ hello ” could turn into a nightmare if one does not consider another culture蒺s use of touch. An accepted way of saying “ hello ” in Western culture is a handshake. In India, however, if the same is done to greet an old man, perhaps someone in his 60s, you might as well dig your own grave, because by giving him a handshake, you蒺re calling yourself his equal. The best way to greet the old in India is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hands. Again, not all cultures enjoy being touched at all. The Japanese hate to be touched. Instead of shaking hands, they usually bow to someone standing in front of them to greet them. Touch, like gestures, differs according to one蒺s culture. So, what should we do? Try to see and learn more. If you happen to have foreign friends, you can watch the gestures they like to use, or just ask them. 1. British children are usually taught to count from their .
