Cultural Tidbit: Hand Gestures in Argentina

When it comes to learning Spanish in Argentina, it’s just as important to learn gestures as it is to learn words. While every culture has its own body language, in Argentina there seem to be more hand gestures than we’re used to in English speaking cultures for example.

Some people think the abundance of hand gestures in Argentina is due to the large population of people of Italian descent. Italy is also famous for its hand gestures, so naturally Argentina’s Italian immigrants would have brought that love for talking with their hands to their new home. Over the years the Italian hand gestures blended with local customs and evolved into something uniquely Argentinean.
