What is confusing to Athabascans about English speakers?
|
| They avoid direct questions |
They ask too many questions |
| They never start conversations |
They always interrupt |
| They talk off the topic |
They only talk about what they are interested in |
| They never say anything about themselves |
They don’t give others a chance to talk |
| They are slow to take turns in talking |
They just go on and on when they talk |
