Imagine you meet someone who you have never met before. They are dressed like no one you have ever seen. They do not speak your language. They look completely different in every way, but they are definitely human. How would you communicate with that person? Be specific and detailed in your answer.

If I met someone like this, I am not exactly sure how I would try to communicate with them. I think I would wave and point to objects, and show them what I mean. I guess like use gestures, or like acting kind of.
