Do you believe that your body talks? Body language seems to be more important than spoken or written language. According to a survey by Edward T. Hall in India, in a daily conversation between two persons, less than 35% of the meaning is communicated by words. So, at least 65% of the meaning is shown by our bodies. The following table shows how each body part communicates, according to the survey.
| Body part | The way to move | Meaning |
| head | nodding the head | “Yes” in most countries; “No” in some parts of Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey |
| eye | closing eyes | “I’m bored.” or “I’m sleepy.” in America; “I’m listening and concentrating.” in Thailand, Japan, and China |
| ear | cupping the ear | “I can’t hear you.” in all countries |
| pulling the ear | “You are in my heart.” for Navajo Indians | |
| nose | holding the nose | “Something smells bad.” in the whole world |
| pointing to the nose | “It’s me.” in Japan | |
| arm | folding arms | “I disagree with what I am hearing.” |
| hand | waving hands | “Hello!” or “Goodbye!” |
