Today, I had a part time job from morning till night. I work at a supplementary private school near Kumamoto Gakuen University. I enjoy the job each time. I taught English to a boy who is a high school student this morning. His name is Kotaro. We studied with a English text book to practice reading a long sentence. Then I knew one things. It is different from gestures. Gestures are a kind of international language. But do they mean the same in all country? Some gestures have different meaning in different cultures. There was one example in the text book. An American visited his Japanese friend. When the American was leaving, he made a gesture which meant "good bye". But the friend's child came back. Because we use a similar gesture in Japan when we mean "come here ". Kotaro said me " Manekineko's hand is different too". Manekineko is Japanese famous ornament of cat. The cat which it is said to call in happiness, customers and treasure. The gestures of this cat are different to be given it by Americans, too.
I thought that the important thing is to learn both language and gestures.
