Nonverbal communication is a basic form of communication in which emotions and thoughts are not expressed in words, but in signs. There are various types of nonverbal communication, and some of them are: body posture, mimicry, facial expressions, look signals, seduction signals, touches and others. Culture is learned from birth to the end of life and learning can be formal or informal. Formal learning most often takes place in schools and churches, while informal learning takes place in interaction with parents, and in this way children observe and imitate behavior from the environment. Although it is often not thought about, touch is a very powerful resource of non-verbal communication, and a lot can be revealed from a kiss, hug, handshake or pat. Different rules apply in every country, so, for example in Europe, it is quite normal and common to see a young loving couple holding hands or hugging in public, while this is not the case in Asian countries. They find that exchanging tenderness is an intimate thing and it is not appropriate to see a man and a woman in such an intimate relationship. In Thailand, a "sniffing kiss" is used for this reason, which can be confusing for people who are encountering this way of greeting for the first time. African countries are also quite conservative and believe that people of the opposite sex should not be touched in public unless it is a handshake. For this reason, when someone comes to stay in a foreign country, one should adjust to their customs so as not to offend them in any way by their behavior. Many feel anxious by going into the unknown and do not know how they should behave. That is why there are various obstacles in communication, and some of them are: stereotypes, prejudices, racism, power, ethnocentrism and culture shock. Just like everything, it is possible to overcome them and non-verbal communication should not be allowed to represent a great barrier in the mutual relationship.
