Sameee I stutter when speaking in Arabic; as a kid I was rarely spoken to in Arabic and mostly watched English TV so my Arabic was never that good. I personally think my issue is that I was afraid of my parents as they use to beat me a lot, so whenever I would speak to them I would crazy stutter. My stuttering is the worst with my mom, she makes fun of my speech all the time. I’ve been told that I’ll never be loved or get married if I don’t “fix” myself. I might have horrible speech in Arabic because I’ve been abused by other Arabic speakers that I hated the language and avoid it as much as I can. Now I’m in my 20’s and I still can’t keep up a properly conversations 100% in Arabic
