I kind of understand what you mean. It might be similar to what I was taught - easy onset? Have you heard of that? It's like saying the first letter in a very loose way but to me, it doesn't sound natural but it might ease the tension. Nice - I love mint tea! :) I see. That's good. I'm glad that you were able to do this and it didn't have to be a big deal. That's really good. I wish there would be more people like that in this world. The thing I hate about this is that I don't want to be seen as a burden or hurdle or something someone or a company would have to work their way or accomodate around - I just want to be seen and treated like everyone else. I've seen speech therapists before and nothing really helped.
