Common Language

    In the modern world, we know about the existence of a plurality of languages, which are divided even in completely different language groups and subgroups. People for centuries can't understand each other, and thousands of people are struggling with the study of the languages of other countries. But we all have the common language - body language.
    We read people by using our eyes. Body language sends the messages, which people can read and communicate with each other through gestures, facial expressions, expressive movements. Body language is a kind of nonverbal communication. Since the most of the people from different countries can get information without saying a word, they can easily understand each other. For instance, the gestures "come here", "wait", "let's go", "be quiet", “I love you”, “I’m hungry”, and etc. can be understandable. For one thing, I am certain that when a person moves to another country, without knowledge of the foreign language, he/she would mostly communicate with people by using gestures or body language, and people around would mostly understand what he/she meant to say.
Also, if you are more attentive, then you will see that nonverbal communication can tell you about your interlocutor more than he says about himself in words. For instance, when a person feels insecure, he performs the various movements, such as biting nails or twisting the hair ends. Therefore, when those gestures are shown, it is necessary to support the person or ask what is the matter. Another message that could be seen is flirting gestures. When a person wants to attract the attention of the opposite sex, then he or she elevate the emotions and start to use body language strenuously. For example, women can twist a lock of hair on their fingers or correct makeup. When men dealing with ladies, they can do stuff such as brushing their hair back or adjust their clothes or anything that will make them stand out. Of course, all people flirt differently, but the gestures will appear anyway. So, pay attention to a person with whom you talk to and look for the gestures, facial expressions, and movements that sign the person’s intention.
     For the last of all, all people, all nations, have the body language that unites us. Every person can read the body language. The nonverbal communication is the powerful skill that can show the intentions of people or show the emotional feelings. So, pay attention to the body language of people that are around you, and you will understand them better.

  1. Unless, the body language has a different meaning. Then there could be trouble :-) What about facial expressions? Are they as useful?
