This can be answered simply, and with an example of a time when this happened to you, if it has.

"This has happened to me previously with a person who used a lot of hand gestures. I did ask them if the gestures had a significant meaning, and if they could quickly explain to me what the meaning was so that I did not miss out on any nuances that needed to be interpreted."
