Thank you!! :) I’m sorry for responding so late, but I really appreciate what you have told me. Yes omg, the terminology is the bane of my existence man, this class has me sweating at 8:35am lmao. Although I said staphylococcus in one smooth go on the second day of class, so I think im gonna be riding that high all semester hahaha. I will certainly try the higher tone/pitch when starting out with a word! Tacking on an a/uh/similar sounds to the start helps me get rolling sometimes so I think trying something like raising my tone/pitch at the start might actually be really helpful. How is your experience with it working in research? Im looking to do nursing!
