That's the problem, I'm more uncomfortable telling people I stutter. I may get used to it after a while but for the first one I'm a bit nervous to approach it. From experience, when someone brings up my stuttering, it improves a lot but I don't know how things will work the other way around. I like the part about if you don't understand I can repeat myself. I was either going to tell it as a joke like "if I freeze, I'm not having a stroke." Or a more serious one like "if you see me slowing down or pronouncing some words oddly, it's just I'm trying to implement new training techniques. Anyway today was my first day and I'd say it's very obvious but I manage, but still, I'd prefer the tension was gone. Thanks for your reply
