Someone here not stuttering at all when speaking other languages? I cant exactly describe the problem and that is part of the reason im here. I ve stuttered since I was a child and I ve had good and bad periods since then. I ve gone through some tough shit in my life (my parents divorcing in my early teen years, rejection from the opposite gender and even some bullying), but I never liked playing the victim and I actually consider myself very fortunate for the life I ve had so far. I dont want to bore you so Im going straight to the point: Im very good at languages. Im brazilian but im also fluent in english, french and spanish. The fact that I dont stutter at all when speaking these other languages has made me believe my stutter when speaking portuguese, my first language, is only psychological and that all I need is muster the same confidence I have when speaking other languages but I have never been able to do this at all. I ve tried everything but I just cant make my brain work the same way as it does when speaking english for instance. Some very close friends have even pointed this out. I feel pathetic for not being able to properly speak portuguese. It is as if my brain has hardwired my speech to the experiences I ve had with each language and I cant break from that. I ve only gone through positive experiences when speaking english, french and spanish (travel, exchange programs; even the only girls I ve ever been close too were not brazilian). Im seriously considering moving away from Brazil because of this even tough it seems ridiculous. Does anyone know of a similar case? Am i just very sick in the head and need to see a professional asap? Im open to any suggestions. Thanks for reading this. Edit: thanks everyone for your replies! I started doing some reading out loud exercises yesterday as /u/wildmans suggested. Maybe you should all try this as well as my variation of it.
