Summary
In Thiederman`s article “Body language Speaks Louder Than Words,” the author states that body language is good communication and is peculiarly important when trialing to communicate across cultural and language barriers. Body language can be the most important parts of communication because of someone who cannot communicate with verbal language. People can more understand when we speak with movement than without movement. The reason that they can understand easily is body language make listeners to understand communicating emotion definitely during communication. Moreover, we can figure out that each country have different movement when they speak with movement.
