Pleasant facial expressions are exhibited almost constantly. While speaking with her husband in her native tongue she speaks in a strong voice, rapidly, with a high pitch and to me sounds as if she runs her words together. When answering my questions in English she speaks in a clear much softer, slower, and more deliberate voice. Her understanding of basic English is very good however many times she looks to her husband to assist her in understanding my questions. At times she and I both resort to facial and body language to get our points across to each other. Many times throughout our meeting there were silent interruptions in which one or the other of us was attempting to get a point across to the other in understanding of the question/answer that was needed. .
