Re: Talking too much

Resist asking for help untill you're sure you need it. In our dojo we're told to try something on our own 10 times before we consider asking sensei. If you just need a quick reference look at what one of the more advanced students are doing.

Of course you can't avoid a long discussion if sensei decides to go over and correct you himself. But I find that these tactics can be a good method of figuring things out without going to sensei.
