I don’t know if this will help you in anyway, but it’s helped me so I thought I’d share. Why do you want to fight your stutter? For me, I made my peace with it and accepted that this is who I am. Simply put, I refused to be ashamed of myself and the way I speak. I think it’s commendable that you’re learning a new language, and that you’re trying your hardest to be as perfect as possible. You should take pride in that, and pride in your self as a result. When I started to internalize some of these ideas, most of my stutter, the parts that derive from anxiety and inadequacy, dissolved away with time. Give it time, have faith in yourself, and never ever ever back down from saying what’s on your mind whatever you think the consequences might be. Good luck.
