Ah, that is good advice! I’m trying to myself to just say what I want to, when I want to. A big part of being a stutter is taking control the stutter, IMO. At least that’s what helps for me. As anthropologist I guess you have to talk to a lot of strangers as well as colleagues. Communicating verbally is important within this field, being good at it even more. The only advice I have is to practice speaking, just as /u/snackaddict says.
