Videos on gestures!

Hi ya'll!

I'm doing a small section on gestures and am planning on using these videos that show how gestures are not always similar culture to culture. I figured I would post them just in case someone else is needing to fill a little extra time.

First: Inglourious Basterds bar scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TJJtEIcKjU (It's gory at the end, FYI) The gesture he uses for the number three at 0:49 is an English counting gesture. Germans use the thumb, pointer, and middle finger to gesture the number three.

I'm also probably going to use this video from Japanesepod101.com from their video series on learning Japanese body language and gestures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD3xPFui8bA
