What is Nonverbal Communication• It's important to recognize, though, that it's our “Nonverbal
communication”—our facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, and tone of voice—that speak the loudest.
• Culture plays an important role in nonverbal communication, and it is one aspect that helps to influence how learning activities are organized.

Gestures and Body Language in Iran
• 1. Stand up when someone enters the room (especially if they are older). It's a sign of respect.
• 2. When meeting someone of the same gender, it's common to shake hands and do ruboosi, kiss each other once on each cheek.

Common Gestures• Raising your eyebrows- this means no. You'll find Iranians do
this often instead of actually saying no. It's frequently accompanied by a "nooch" sound made by sort of sucking your tongue.

• Biting your lower lip with your upper teeth. This expresses disbelief/shame that someone did something. It's often accompanied by hitting one hand with the other and keeping it there, or bringing your fist to your mouth.

• Pointing with your hand to a seat (or to anything else) while you say befarmāid. Just a polite way to indicate please/after you.

• Placing your hand over your heart (and slightly bowing your head down/looking down) expresses sincerity.

• Putting your hand under your chin. This means you are fed up with something (your hand can be higher if you are really fed up!). People will usually say tā injām residam.

• Putting your index finger on the nose means be quiet. This is just like in the U.S., but instead of saying "shhh", you say "sssss".

• Biting your index finger or the web between your thumb and index finger. This is sort of an anti-jinx, like, God forbid or zabunam lāl.

• Extending one hand and holding your other hand perpendicular to it. When you make this gesture, you usually say zabun dāre enghadr!, s/he's got a tongue this long meaning the person mouths off a lot.

• Counting :In Iran, it's done in two ways: by touching the finger to thumb, starting with the pinky, or by folding each finger down with your other hand, starting with the pinky, shown respectively in the clips from Shahgoosh.
