As you might have noticed, or as you know and have seen, but are not aware of, this exists. The richness of non-speech communication. Speech communication? That implies speech performed by speech organs (mouth, teeth, palate, larynx, the respiratory system...) Non-speech communication? You must wonder what that might be, you could guess, but you’ve never had a chance to see it or you weren’t interested. Now is your chance to plunge into our world, the world of an underwater rest stop for language, but it could also be an aerial rest stop for language, a neighborhood rest stop for language, etc. Non-speech communication? Body movements, facial expressions, gestures, body positions, emotions expressed on the face, signs... Try plunging into our world and initiating ordinary, human communication without preconceptions. Use your imagination, your hidden talents, and potentials. You might find yourself amazed with the fact how much is hidden inside you, of which you haven’t been aware before. If you have plunged, flown or dropped into these rest stops, you will ∫nd our 10 reasons, which we proudly demonstrate at each of the rest stops, and you will not regret your visit.
