In what ways can hand gestures lead to misunderstanding?
Well, as an example, we assume all people indicate the numbers one to ten with their fingers the same way. But in fact, they don't. While North Americans usually use an index finger for "one.» most Europeans use a thumb. North Americans extend all ten fingers for "ten:' However, Chinese indicate the numbers one to ten all on one hand. For example, an extended thumb and pinkie means "six," and a fist means "ten:· Imagine how confusing this can be when you're trying to communicate quantities and prices with your hands!

🔺 What other gestures can cause confusion?
Take the gesture for "come here;' for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means "good-bye"! And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is considered rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.

🔺 I've heard that, In Japan, pointing with the index finger is not polite. Is that right?
Yes. Japanese prefer to point with the palm open and facing up.

🔺 Surely there must be some gestures used everywhere, right? What about the thumbs-up sign for "great"?
Sorry. That's extremely rude in Australia and the Middle East. This is why it's so important to be aware of these cultural differences.

خب. ترجمه ها را به عمد نفرستادم. ریدینگ را خودتون بخونید. اگر از دوستان داوطلب هم داریم یک بار از روی متن بخونه برامون. قبلش فایل صوتی ریدینگ را هم میفرستم.
اگر جایی از متن دشوار هست، که احتمالا هست، بگید. ترجمه را هم بعدا خودم میذارم.

1⃣ In most of Europe, a thumb and an index finger mean “two.”
جمله صحیح هست. ✅
2⃣ In North America, a thumb and a pinkie mean “two.”
جمله اشتباه هست. صحیحش این بود که:
✅ In China a thumb and pinkie mean “10.”
3⃣ Japanese point at pictures with an open palm facing up.
صحیح هست. ✅
4⃣ To be friendly, North Americans greet others with a light handshake.
اشتباهه❌

5⃣ Everyone uses the thumbs-up sign for “that’s good.”
این هم اشتباهه. صحیحش میشه:
✅ The thumbs-up sign is rude in Australia and the Middle East.

مثلا:
We got off on the wrong foot when I arrived late for the job interview.
برای مصاحبه شغلی دیر رسیدم، پس شروع بدی داشتیم.
Now say different situations in which this expression can be used.
حالا چندتا موقعیت مختلف بگید که بشه از این عبارت استفاده کرد.
