Show of Hands

The fastest way to drive an Italian crazy...tie his hands and talk to him.

Roll Tide!

Everyone gestures right?

Probably too much.

Yes....O H !

Well , a littlle and I am actually trying to do so more often : I talk too fast and the motions slow me down

I'm Italian so of course

Sometimes. More so in Spanish.

More than I should I think 8) but less than one of my best friends in High school. We were talking on the phone once and I had to tell her (based on the topic of discussion) that I could not see her hands 8)

Try not to, but have trouble talking.

We used some SEE Sign with my special needs brother when I was a kid because he had trouble processing verbal speech alone. I never got out of the habit, although it's not Sign anymore, just whatever feels like it goes with what I'm saying.

"Talk to the hand"

I don't know about u guys but I talk with my mouth

A lot

My parents are deaf, so it's common for me to use my hands, even when talking to hearing people. It feels weird not to use my hands.

I'm Italian. Take a wild guess :)

Go Vols

My dear friend, I have been told if I had to sit on my hands I couldn't talk.

I do a lot

Yes, but sadly they rarely answer.

It's called sign language.

so "are you Italian" is the question

Yes but they won't speak back :/

No, I don't use my hands to talk. I use my mouth, lips, teeth, tongue, larynx, to conduct oral conversation.

Well we all said yes or no with our hands

Sure do darlin 😘

When I'm standing

Yeah usually with the middle finger!!!!

Not really. Kind of wish I did though.

My wee one must have had someone at school that did, because she does when playing school. It's really quite amusing.

I'm the worst! I can't talk if my hands are still. Roll Tide Ya'll 😄

Sometimes. When I'm trying to explain something to someone

20 years teaching English as a second language, I can't even say the word "listen" without tapping my ear.

Yes, but I'm not even Italian!

It depends but I'd say 50 50....

Oh yes!

Hah. Only if I am pissed off.

I know a tiny bit of ASL, but not much

A little bit. I'm not too animated.

I wave my arms and hands around while I talk, but I'm not really talking with them. If I stop talking with my mouth and keep waving my arms and hands around, it's just silent gibberish.

I'm Italian... What do you think. ;)

But we taught our son basic sign language When he was first learning to communicate. Still use some when he gets stuck verbally

No I'm not ITALIAN.😾🇮🇪

depends on how mad I am

Only when I'm really angry.

American Sign Language

Nope! Not Italian like CC.

Do I talk with my hands? I'm Italian✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻

👌🏼

I can't help it. But I speak much more via body language.

Not too much. I do more when I am teaching.

I do when I'm really emotional about what I'm saying
