Have you read "Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain?

It says, "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure."

So, you have ignorance. All you need for success now is confidence:-))) Talk in a foreign language with confidence and then success is sure.

Watch the movie "Katherine Tate: Language Translator" below that supports my point:-)))

Communication: How the Message is ConveyedBody and emotions speak lauder than words. According to some studies, words convey 10% of the total message only. The remaining 90% of the message are conveyed through body language and emotions. So, learn body language, listen to emptions and you'll understand 90% of the message. You'll also be able to convey 90% of your message by using the same means.

Just don't forget, that the same gestures can different meaning in different countries (see cross-cultural differences). So learn cross-cultural communication rules and technques as well.
