No, this has nothing to do with Portuguese sign language. 
But linguists argue that only about 30% or so of our real communication is directly through words. The rest is a combination of other linguistic elements such as intonation, pitch, volume, facial and body language.
So a few months back we started gathering what we think are the most commonly used gestures by the Portuguese.
Enjoy!

Ola, muito boa noite Carla e Marlon,
This is fantastic!
As someone travelling to Portugal and Brasil since the late 1970s, and teaching / working in Northern Portugal occasionally in the last ten years, wish I had seen this earlier!
Love the podcast also – listen as I run through the Rocky Mountains here,
muito obrigado e um grande abraço
