To communicate well with other people, you must learn to speak well, right?
Yes, but speaking isn’t everything. Some experts say only 30 percent of communication comes from

talking. Your gestures and other nonverbal actions matter, too. But in different cultures, the same

action can have different meanings.

When you have to meet someone from a different culture, be prepared. Do you know what kind of gestures

and customs are proper? If you understand cultural differences, you’ll be a better communicator─even

before you open your mouth!

In many Western cultures, men stand up before they are introduced to someone important. Standing up

shows politeness and respect. After that, someone will usually offer to shake hands.
But in the East, typical introductions often begin and end with bowing rather than shaking hands.

Sometimes even a small nod of the head is enough.

hands as a sign of unfriendliness. Such a mistake could be harmful to the start of a new friendship.
Important introductions
Let’s look at the simple introduction of shaking hands. Americans like a firm handshake. But the

French prefer a light, short handshake. If you shake a Frenchman’s hand the American way, he may think

you’re uncultured. wow gold
People in Eastern European countries and some Latino cultures prefer shorter handshakes, too. Hugging

after shaking hands is also a common introduction. Don’t be scared if you meet someone in Brazil and

he gives you a hug. If you misunderstanding this gesture, your friendship may get off on the wrong foot

The proper customs for eye contact vary between cultures, too. Westerners appreciate regular eye

contact during conversations. Refusing to look at a Westerner in the eye may be understood as lack of

trust, or maybe boredom. But in some African countries, too much eye contact can offend or sometimes

have romantic signs. Some people in Middle Eastern countries may appear to have their eyes half-closed

while talking to you. Although it might seem as they’retired or bored, such behavior is normal and

should not be taken personally. aion gold
Is everything OK?
Everyone around the world knows the “OK” hand gesture, don’t they? Be careful not to pretend to know

too much!
In Spain, parts of South America and Eastern Europe, the OK sign is considered rude. If you go shopping

in Japan, it means you’d like your change in coins instead of bills. In France, making the OK sign

means you think something is worthless.
Even a gesture as common as the OK sign may not be universally understood. Check before you use it or

you may embarrass yourself.
