Nonverbal Communication
Conversation Partnering #5
Isabella and I had a lot of fun with finding out about nonverbal communication. We didn’t realize that we used so much of it until we where trying to write it out. At one point we even when and asked her mom about some of them. She would do the symbols but when I asked her what they meant she would just say there where very bad and to never do them.
The ones I do a lot are the Persian symbols for:
He’s Crazy (hand next to head them shake it)
F*** You (thumps up)
Please (moving open hand down face)
The ones Isabella uses in Spanish are:
F*** You (half fist)
No Way (thump and pinky up rest down)
Cheating (thump and pinky up rest down over someone’s head)
Hand Down (indicating someone’s gay)
You’re Dead or I’m Going To Kill You (thump on throat)
Something Bad (two fingers on either side on nose)
We couldn’t figure out her level of Edward Hall four zones: Inmate, Personal, Social and, Public. I know that she doesn’t like people being to close and that she has a large range of personal space but we weren’t to shear what they where in feet. It’s funny that even after all this time we still will do that back words step dance when I don’t realize I’ve gotten to close.
