The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they 
are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice 
to communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are 
culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries. 
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake 
it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or 
snapping your fingers at someone is very rude. 
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands 
in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of 
your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right 
hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.
