I am decent with conversation but with my cousin I don't know what it is.

When we are talking and I begin to speak she always interrupts. Also vice versa. I do not have that issue in general with other people. It is annoying though.

She is from a different culture which might be an issue.

What can I do?

Most people tend to interrupt each other when conversing in my experience. I try not to interrupt the person I'm talking to. When I do interrupt it is because I want to say what I want to say before I forget what I'm going to say and sometimes the conversation moves so fast that it is hard for me to keep up.
