* Tito,dosdrive - foreign people/ Jeff,Golf - Indian people Drive :Good afternoon. Today, our group will perform a role play about nonverbal communication. Let us first introduce ourselves. My name is…
SO let’s begin Situation - In New Delhi, India
Drive : Well, look like we’re lost now. Tito : Yeah, I think we should ask local people there for direction. (point to Jeff,Golf ) Dos : Right, I’m sure we don’t want to check in the hotel late. (Tito,dosdrive walk to Jeff and Golf) Tito : Excuse me, could you tell us how to get to Muhammad Hotel? Jeff : Oh, sure. It’s nearby there. First, you just go straight ahead till the next block, then turn right, turn right again and go along the road. You will see on the left side. Dos : So is it easier if we take a transportation to get there instead? Golf : (nodding head) Yes, of course. But the fair might be quite expensive for you. Dros : And are there some nearby snack bar? Perhaps we will walk around tonight. Jeff : Ah hah(Shaking head) Drive : you mean no? Tito : Nah, shaking head in Indian means yes, pal. Thank you so much. Golf : Your welcome.
Nodding head universally means agreeing or answering yes. Also with shaking head, but it’s just for Indian.
