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 am actually the opposite. French and English I have no issues with. Norwegian (my native language) is a bit worse. My theory is because sentences in French and English usually start a lot smoother t...

Stutter worsening in other languages?

Stutter worsening in other languages? I've been taking French classes for 3 years. I can pronounce most of my English (first language) without stuttering at all (though I might choose easier words), b...

I can't be a cashier, I can't report the news.. The list goes on. I've always seen myself as a monster of some sort and I still do. I know it's all in my head, but I still believe that I'm a disabled...

We all have these days. We all know that awful feeling of embarrassment that only other people who stutter will understand. I've been taught in therapy in the past to release all air when you start bl...

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 think that one severe stutter can interfere with communication more than 20 minor disfluencies. That's why I don't care too much about frequency. ...

Yup, that. Something adding to the stuttering. And I was just wondering about her case, as it were....

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...

What do you mean by secondary stuttering? Like secondary behavioral characteristics? And I didn't mean to make it sound like she's the model example of how a Stutterer should sound, she is not witho...

I think we've had this topic in here before, that of the distance between stutterers and those seeking to help them. The only recourse we seem to have is to rely on the (potential) accumulated experie...

yeah, first let me put up a note to please excuse the tone of this post if it sounds too aggressive. Yeah but we both know SLPs barely work with stutterers. And in grad school, they have maybe one "f...

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...

whats that?...

This has happened to me many times before, I just smile and let them know that I stutter. They're usually ok with it and I feel a lot more relaxed....

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...

>most slp's don't know much about how to deal with stuttering This sounds weird to me. You do know we're talking about _speech therapists_ here, right? That's the function I'm referring to. >s...
