I share the sentiment. It's one of the issues when you don't know what causes something - it's hard to know where to even begin. And you can't work on solutions until you know what the problem is. The...

English is my first and only language. I did learn basic French in school as it was mandatory and I don't think I stuttered at that stage of my life, if I did it wasn't nearly as bad as it is now. I...
