Welcome to April language talk. This time I'd like to talk about body language and gesture and facial expressions, which are essential when speaking various languages. Let's find out about your intercultural experience.

 

But what is body language? It is simply said "nonverbal communication"!

 

Understanding the power of body language means recognising information between spoken words. And, it can be really tricky doing so all over the world.

This is an extremely important intercultural issue. Just take the chance and get to know about it by reading and watching following links and join to discuss this matter in our pop-in event on April 7th. Also let's analyse people's behaviour you know and the difficulty of intercultural misinterpretation.
