I certainly plan on tackling this area also. Body language is another area that greatly affects understanding of culture. I soon found that out when I first arrived in Mexico. For example: We show the height of a child using our hands in a horizontal position. This to Mexicans is very offensive. They use their hands in the vertical position.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('20','kiwichamp'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Hi Sandie

In my language teaching over the years,this has caused all sorts of fun as my students try to come to terms with English usage. Body language is also another interesting area of 'study'. Next post maybe? ;-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('19','Sandie'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Nice succinct discussion on language.
