00:00Index finger.
00:04Middle finger.
00:06Ring finger.
00:10Pinky.
00:12Palm.
00:14Fist.
00:20Read and listen.
00:22We talked to Jean Galloway about her book.
00:24Get off on the right foot.
00:26Don't let the wrong gesture ruin your day.
00:30English is the world's international language.
00:32But in your book,
00:34you focused on non-verbal communication.
00:36Why is that so important?
00:38Well, gestures and other body language
00:40can have different meanings in different places.
00:44Something that you think is friendly or polite
00:46could come across as very rude in another culture.
00:50I've described many of these customs and cultural differences
00:54so my readers don't get off on the wrong foot
00:56when they meet people from places
00:58where the culture differs from their own.
01:02Can greeting someone in the wrong way
01:04really lead to misunderstanding?
01:06In some cases, yes.
01:08The firm handshake a North American expects
01:10may seem quite aggressive in other places.
01:14And a light handshake,
01:16which is normal in some countries,
01:18may seem unfriendly to a North American.
01:20In what ways can hand gestures lead to misunderstanding?
01:24Well, as an example,
01:26we assume all people indicate the numbers 1 to 10
01:30with their fingers the same way.
01:32But in fact, they don't.
01:34While North Americans usually use an index finger for 1,
01:38most Europeans use a thumb.
01:42North Americans extend all 10 fingers for 10.
01:46However, Chinese indicate the numbers 1 to 10 all on one hand.
01:50For example, an extended thumb and pinky means 6,
01:54and a fist means 10.
01:56And a fist means 10.
01:58Imagine how confusing this can be
02:00when you're trying to communicate quantities and prices with your hands.
02:06What other gestures can cause confusion?
02:08Take the gesture for come here, for example.
02:12In North America, people gesture with the palm up.
02:16Well, in Southern Europe, that gesture means goodbye.
02:20And in many Asian countries, the palm up gesture is considered rude.
02:26Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
02:30I've heard that in Japan, pointing with the index finger is not polite.
02:36Is that right?
02:37Yes.
02:38Japanese prefer to point with the palm open and facing up.
02:42Surely there must be some gestures used everywhere, right?
02:45What about the thumbs up sign for great?
02:48Sorry, that's extremely rude in Australia and the Middle East.
02:52This is why it's so important to be aware of these cultural differences.
02:57Okay, so here we have a little bit about this reading and the importance of gestures in communication.
03:14So, for example, Alondra, what did you understand from this reading?
03:21It's like another form of communicating.
03:28And we use...
03:33We can use a hand for the...
03:43For the...
03:44For the...
03:45Communicate?
03:46Uh, no.
03:47To communicate.
03:48To communicate.
03:49To communicate.
03:51What else?
03:53Try to give me a general idea of the points that the writer mentioned about gestures and communication.
04:03For example, she mentioned something about the hand fingers, you know, from the thumb finger,
04:10from the thumb finger to the index finger and the middle finger.
04:14She mentioned something about the fingers.
04:16What was the most important aspect that she mentioned regarding that?
04:28Um...
04:29It told you that we can use the index finger for, say, the number one?
04:41Uh, no.
04:42For saying.
04:43For it's commonly followed by a gerund and to it's commonly followed by an infinitive.
04:49So, for showing or for saying?
04:55Um...
05:00Can you correct that idea, please?
05:03Did you understand the explanation?
05:09No, I didn't.
05:10No?
05:11Okay, let me show you.
05:12No.
05:13So, the explanation means that for...
05:15Let me see what we have here.
05:20For it's a connector, a connector that is followed, followed by an object or by a gerund that
05:49acts as the object of your action, whereas two is followed by an infinitive.
06:04Do you understand?
06:06Yes.
06:07So, correct your idea, please.
06:08Um...
06:09Okay.
06:10So, you said that she mentioned that the fingers are used to or for?
06:24Two.
06:25Two.
06:26Okay.
06:27So, describe the idea one more time, please.
06:28Yes.
06:29Um...
06:30It...
06:31Describe your idea one more time, please.
06:32Yes.
06:33Um...
06:34The text, uh...
06:36Describe your idea one more time, please.
06:45Yes, the text told you that we can use the... I don't remember... what?
07:01We're gonna listen to the reading one more time. We're gonna listen to the reading one more time.
07:05I need you to pay attention to the reading and to what you are listening.
07:16Here we go. Pay attention. Try to focus on the main idea. What is the text about? What are the most important points that the writer mentions?
07:28And what is the central part of this article, right? What is the purpose of describing this? So here we go.
07:38To June Galloway about her book. Get off on the right foot. Don't let the wrong gesture ruin your day.
07:44English is the world's international language. But in your book, you focus on nonverbal communication. Why is that so important?
07:54Well, gestures and other body language can have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could come across as very rude in another culture.
08:04I've described many of these customs and cultural differences so my readers don't get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture differs from their own.
08:18Can greeting someone in the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
08:35In some cases, yes. The firm handshake a North American expects may seem quite aggressive in other places.
08:43And a light handshake, which is normal in some countries, may seem unfriendly to a North American.
08:50In what ways can hand gestures lead to misunderstanding?
08:54Well, as an example, we assume all people indicate the numbers 1 to 10 with their fingers the same way.
09:01But in fact, they don't. While North Americans usually use an index finger for 1, most Europeans use a thumb.
09:12North Americans extend all 10 fingers for 10. However, Chinese indicate the numbers 1 to 10 all on one hand.
09:21For example, an extended thumb and pinky means 6 and a fist means 10.
09:28Imagine how confusing this can be when you're trying to communicate quantities and prices with your hands.
09:35What other gestures can cause confusion?
09:38Take the gesture for, come here, for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up.
09:45Well, in Southern Europe, that gesture means goodbye. And in many Asian countries, the palm up gesture is considered rude.
09:54Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
10:01I've heard that, in Japan, pointing with the index finger is not polite. Is that right?
10:06Yes. Japanese prefer to point with the palm open and facing up.

10:17Sorry, that's extremely rude in Australia and the Middle East. This is why it's so important to be aware of these cultural differences.
10:32Okay, so here we have this reading one more time, so let's focus on these little by little, so that you can understand properly.
10:42So, first of all, Brian, what's the name of the writer? Let's make it simple.
10:52What's the name of the writer?
10:54What's the name of the writer?
10:57Writer?
10:59Writer is Peter.
11:00What is the name of the writer? Do not use Spanish, don't translate.
11:25Ah, sorry.
11:29What is the name of the writer, Carlos? Can you answer the question?
11:44I'm trying to find the name.
11:46Natalie, what's the name of the writer?
11:50June Galloway.
11:52Give me a full statement. Her name is?
11:55Her name is June Galloway. Excellent, very good. And is she talking about an article, a book or a magazine, Natalie?
12:03She's talking about a book.
12:05She?
12:06She.
12:07She.
12:08Okay. So, she's talking about a book. So, Natalie, can you read the first paragraph, please?
12:14English is the world's international language?
12:17English.
12:18English is the world's international language. But in your book, you focus on non-verbal communication. Why is that so important? Repeat. Try to read when you read and try to focus, please.
12:38Well, gestures and other body language can have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could come across as very rude in another culture.
12:53I have described many of these costumes and cultural differences. So, my readers don't get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture differs from their own.
13:18That's good. Excellent. That's good. So, tell me, Natalie, what do you understand? Explain the idea here that gestures and other body languages can have different meanings in different places. What do you understand by that line?
13:37Maybe gesture here in North America we think is polite will be ruled in Asia or South Africa?
13:51Asia.
13:52Asia.
13:53That's good. So, okay. That's the idea. So, then we have something that you think is friendly or polite could... What, Natalie? Can you continue reading? Something that you think is friendly or polite could...
14:06Could come across as very rude in another culture.
14:13That's good. Thank you. So, what do you understand by the expression come across?
14:19Like people could think it's rude.
14:25Error.
14:26Mm-hmm. So, that's the meaning I've come across. That it could seem, it could be perceived or it could appear as something very rude, right? It could show that your intention is totally different. That's good.
14:42Okay. So, well, she mentions that there are some gestures that can be polite in some place and some could be impolite in other places. So, do you have an example of that, Natalie?
14:57Mm-hmm. Maybe, I don't know, like try to leave your hand to say hi? Mm-hmm. To be perceived in another culture as offensive, maybe? Mm-hmm. Like in what other culture specifically?
15:20Mm-hmm. I'm not sure, teacher specifically, what other...
15:27She mentioned something about it, I had in the, in the paragraph. So, we can continue reading. So, let's go in to see...
15:34Remember to pay attention to what you read and pay attention to what you listen. Carlos, continue reading, please.
15:41Can greeting someone in the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
15:47Can greeting someone in the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
15:57Okay. In some cases, yes, the firm handshake a North American expects may seem aggressive in other places. And a light handshake, which is normal in some countries, may seem unfriendly in too North American.
16:14Okay. So, please try to describe the first idea here that says, in some cases, the firm handshake a North American expects may seem quite aggressive in other places. So, what do you understand by that?
16:29I understand is, mm-hmm. Part of North American are more, like, uh, personal friendly and, like, uh, more strict in, like, their, for their relationships.
16:40Mm-hmm. Okay. And are more aggressive.
16:44That's good. And, uh, in your personal experience, whenever you get to meet people, what do you prefer? A firm handshake or a light handshake so as to convey or to, uh, transfer?
16:58Confidence. What do you think?
17:01From my personal experience, I prefer the handshake. Why? Because I know other people, in some occasion, the other person don't say, don't make me with the handshake.
17:15But I prefer to see, to be, uh, equality person, a respected person. To say, hello, my name is Carlos. And take the hands, make the handshake.
17:28Yeah, yeah, but I mean, a firm handshake or a light handshake?
17:32Uh, light. A light handshake. Okay. That's good. That's the point that we have. In what ways can hand gestures lead to, uh, misunderstanding?
17:42Well, as an example, we assume all people indicate their numbers 1 to 10 with their fingers the same way. But in fact,
17:49they don't take that one North Americans usually use an index finger.
17:57They don't take that one, but if they don't take that one, they don't take it off.
18:061 to 10 with their fingers the same way. But in fact, they don't take them. While North
18:16Americans usually use an index finger for 1, most Europeans use a thumb. Europeans. Europeans.
18:31Not Europeans. Europeans. Europeans use a thumb.
18:44Continue.
18:46North Americans extend all fingers for 10. However, Chinese indicate the numbers 1 to
18:5810. All on one hand. Chinese indicate the numbers 1 to 10. All on one hand. All on one. All on one hand. Try to repeat all consecutively. All on
19:25one hand. Repeat one more time. All on one hand. All on one hand. That's good. Continue.
19:32For example, an extended thumb and pinky means 6 and a fist means 10. Imagine how confusing this can be when you're trying to communicate quantities and prices with your hands.
19:52Excellent. Very good. So that's the point. So what do you understand by this idea? Please describe it.
19:59Brian, the Chinese indicate the numbers 1 to 10. All on one hand. What did you understand by that?
20:07Brian, the Chinese indicate the numbers 1 to 10. All on one hand.
20:08I understood that the way that we communicate sometimes we communicate amounts of quantities.
20:21I think your microphone is breaking up. Can you get closer to your microphone, please?
20:26Okay. Can you listen?
20:29A little bit better, yes. So please describe this idea of why Chinese indicate the numbers 1 to
20:3510 all on one hand. How do you describe that?
20:39Because that depends in the place that we grow up or our culture. So here in Mexico, we
20:55we have some customs and in another place can be others. Okay. Thanks, Andre. That's good.
21:10Then we have at the beginning of this paragraph, we have the sentence that says, well, as an example,
21:17we assume all people indicate the numbers 1 to 10 with their fingers the same way. So what
21:24does it mean to you to assume? To assume something, you know? What would be the description to that?
21:33Assume could be that we know that it's the unique way or maybe we do the same?
21:46It's something like that, something similar, yes. We assume, not really. Assume is a little bit more as to understand,
21:55you know, to understand, to get. So you try to assume based on what you see or based on what you hear.
22:02So that means that you create your own conclusions so as to elaborate your ideas. So assuming is to base your understanding on what you see, what you hear or what you have been told, you know?
22:17It's your own interpretation from what you are experiencing or from what you are witnessing. That's to assume. For example, if I assume that somebody is hungry just because he enters a restaurant,
22:36so it's just an assumption. Perhaps he's not entering a restaurant just because he's hungry, but rather because he works there. So an assumption is just to make a general understanding of what you see and what you perceive. Right? So that's the point. Do you have any questions?
22:57No. Great. That's good. Alondra, continue reading with the next paragraph, please. What other gestures?
23:06Yes. What other gestures can you...can...can cause?
23:13Cause. Cause confusion. Take the gestures from here. For example, in North America, people's gestures with the bump up will in certain...
23:27In short term, Europe, that gesture means goodbye. And many...
23:56Many Asian countries develop gestures in considerate rules. In time, people's gestures with the bump down.
24:09Ok. So now you have to practice reading. Are you reading daily?
24:17Yes.
24:18How many time do you spend while reading? How much time, sorry?
24:23Yes.
24:24How many times do you spend more time, like 10 minutes?
24:28That's too little. That's too little. You have to spend a little bit more. What do you usually read?
24:33read um like a history but um like uh do you usually read like uh do you usually read your
24:51uh practicing your pronunciation like like uh pronouncing what you're actually reading or
24:56you just read uh just with your sight or with your eyes i'm i read but i don't know
25:12what the correct pronunciation when you read when you read you have to pronounce
25:18okay the same way that we're practicing here and you but you have to do it 20 to 30 minutes every
25:23day so and not only about history you have to read different things i mean history science
25:30fantasy i mean there's a lot of material that you can read so in this case take the gesture
25:37for come here for example in north america people gesture with a palm up what do you understand by
25:42that idea alondra um when when i see uh other people um i like uh
