   Been a ESL/Culture teacher in Tokyo for 20 years. Gestures and body lganuage are big parts of helping students not shoot themselves in the foot . The, to me, Peace sign of index and middle fingers pointing up is standard. I learned and had to teach students that turning your hand around with the fingers in the same position, as Japanese often do, is very bad in many countries. They had to learn and accept, even if they thought it foolish, that many people don’t care if you don’t understand or made a mistake. They’ll get angry or worse.
