People who gained (some level) of fluency, what are some things that you do? I am someone who has gained fluency. One of the things that I didn’t realize I do is I choose how I say things by my word choices. For example, I wouldn’t say, “I have a stutter”, because I would most likely stutter on that sentence. Instead, I would say, “I am a person whose stutters”, because I say that more fluently. What do you guys do that helped you be more fluent?
