Online language learning

Online language learning Hello! I’m thinking about starting to have lessons to improve my English. I found some platforms like Cambly and Italki. My problem is that when I speak English I stutter A L...

I have the same issue. My name starts with K and I can’t tell you how much I DREAD introducing myself, especially in a meeting/large group. Like the comment above, I usually try to say a very long sen...

My name isn't Dylan, but my tongue hates that letter too. Sometimes I can throw an 'um' in before a D word and that will help, or use a soft 'T'. The letter substitution works if you do it quickly. I ...

My name's Dylan too. I can't say my name either lol. What I've found somewhat easier for me is saying a whole sentence, with my name being at the very end. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. ...
