The more experience you get with conversation the better. One of the other posters in the forum posted about his breathing when he begins to speak. He said when he stuttered in the past realized he was breathing in. A speech therapist I saw believed that breathing in before saying words was the key to fluency. I didn't follow through though he had great success and gave seminars all over the world. Read all you can about breathing and stuttering. I overcame my lifetime stutter at 70 through psychotherapy to deal with my abusive childhood. It can happen. Best of luck, Sue
