I've always wanted to do this - announce my stutter in front of a crowd. I've never had the balls yet, though, but I think it's really only a suuuper good thing to do for yourself! The crowd won't thi...

I experience the same as you do. I'm quite sure it's because we're not as used to speaking in the second language (French in your case) as our everyday-tongue, so all the little tricks we use to avoid...

I think this is exactly right. At my job I stutter more during 1 on 1 interactions but when I have to make a page over the store PA system, I speak with fluency and inflection that would make you thin...

We're in the same boat. I manage my stuttering pretty well usually but when I speak in a foreign language it all goes out the window. The only thing that helps at all is to take it slow and steady but...

I always get it out of the way to let people know that I stutter. Instead of people having thoughts of me being weird when I get stuck....

I also have a hard time saying my name. I remember when I was a kid, an old man wondered what my name was and I replied with "I don't know" because I knew I was going to stutter on the starting letter...

I think I might try that. I don't always carry paper with me but I do carry my phone around all the time so I can type something up and read it to whomever I'm talking to. ...

I have a low to moderate stutter.In such occasions what I usually do is write down what I want in a piece of paper and recite from that paper.My speech now has drastically improved but when I was youn...

Dude, my father used to say almost the exact thing to me. Anything I would try to say to him he would dismiss as a excuse or just bullshit. It was always his way or the highway. I also have a diffic...

You can just stop mid sentence take a deep breath and attempt again, usually for me I can get it out after that. Give a simple sorry about that, no need to explain yourself and try very very hard to n...

Did you e.g. use your hands to signal that something was going on, that they'd have to wait for? I sometimes do that when I block/repeat. Just to sort of let listeners know I'm still trying to get som...

i find it helps sometimes if i say uhhh if i feel a stutter coming on. if that doesn't work i go with a fake yawn and take a deep breath. hope that helps somewhat. ...

Method, that'd be something taught by SLPs. Tricks, that's the oddities and habits she's doing to get her words out. E.g. she's forcing air and skipping pronunciation....

Except she's using a lot of tricks to speak. Didn't you notice? I mean, it's not that I have a problem as such with her speaking the way she does! It's just that I wonder if she'd improve with actual...

From what I hear here, I can't quite figure out if she's using _method_ or just _tricks_. I hear some "piggyback" maneuvers which are rather forced, and some "dodging" which sounds like avoidance. But...

Announcing you have a stutter in a presentation

Announcing you have a stutter in a presentation I'm 23 and am doing a presentation to my research group next week about some physics i have been doing. Been thinking about announcing I have a stutter ...

Because when I know something I know exactly what I want to say so I try to use those exact words but when I'm bullshitting I feel like I can say w/e I want....

you can always carry around a small notepad with a pen. Ive started to for times where I know I cannot get a word out...

For me it is not gone an dI still have to think a bit while talking but I have controlled it to a point where I can talk to people in an articulate enough way and can get my point across wtihout havin...

Promotions and the stress that comes with it.

Promotions and the stress that comes with it. Hey everyone, This is my first post in this subreddit. Much love. I've stuttered all my life and I just turned 29. It didn't really bother me until goin...
