【2024原创】Body language is the act of communicating using anything
other than your words. People all around the world use their bodies to express
themselves: greeting someone with a hug or a handshake, smiling, frowning,
waving, pointing, dancing and so much more. But a gesture that means one thing
in your part of the world can mean the completely opposite thing somewhere
else!

Bowing (鞠躬) in Korea
In Korea, you bow when meeting a person for the first time, as well as
when saying “goodbye” “thank you” and “I'm sorry”. Generally, the lower you
bow, the more respect you show the other person. The longer you keep your
head bowed, the more serious you are. Depending on where you go, of course,
the rules for bowing may be different.

Head Shaking in India
In Western cultures, when you say “yes”, you nod your head. “No” is
swinging the head from left to right. People from India, however, use their heads
to express so much more than a simple “yes” or “no”. In India, “yes” is
expressed by tilting (倾斜) the head from one side towards the shoulder—the
faster the shake is, the more certain the “yes” is. This gesture is popular during
a conversation to show that the listener is paying attention and being agreeable.

“One” in Germany
You probably use your fingers to count things. In Germany and some other
European countries like France and Italy, they start counting with the thumb
(拇指), and it plus the pointer finger is “two”. Show the waiter your thumb
and pointer finger, and he might think that you're saying “two” and bring you a
pair of those huge German beer mugs!
