Time to test your language knowledge…. Body language that is! JapanesePod101.com presents you with the first episode of Japanese Body Language and Gestures, where you will learn some commonly used body language in Japan, presented by the lovely native Japanese speaker, Hiroko. Have fun learning about the best ways to communicate without saying anything (okay, we’ll teach you a few words while we’re at it).
If you learned a lot with this video, stop by our Japanese language learning website and get other language learning content including other great videos like this one, audio podcasts, review materials, blogs, iPhone applications, and more.

@TLoZfanatic sumimasen is more versatile. i don’t think it directly translates to i’m sorry as in i have sorrow. it can be used to get a store clerk’s attention or if you’re trying to get through a crowded room of people. it kind of has a feeling of saying i’m sorry to put you out or bother you so please excuse me for doing so. i lived in japan for 3 years but never took a class so most words i have a feeling for but don’t know the direct translation.

Isn’t that a gesture that’s done pretty much everywhere? I don’t know, i didn’t know it was a specificly Japanese gesture for “sorry”, i do that too and pretty much everyone does (and i’m not Japanese at all =P). Well, i guess i just learnt something then.
