The "V for victory" sign is used in most of Europe as in the United States, but may get you a punch in the nose in parts of Britain, where it's an obscene gesture (if you make the "V" with your palm toward you.) The "thumbs up" sign popular in the United States is used widely in most of Europe to say "OK" (it also represents the number one when counting). For example, if you count with your fingers, in Europe remember to start with your thumb, not your index finger (if you hold up your index finger, you'll probably get two of something). In Europe, while some gestures can help you communicate, others can contribute to the language barrier.
