the thumb and index finger（食指）, and the other three straight means “everything is ok.” in france, it means “you are worth nothing.”it is also important to make eye communication. if you look down when talking to an american, he or she may feel that you are shy, or you are trying to hide something.besides these, you should also know there are some topics that cannot be talked about, such as age,
