Yup pretty much. I also let them know that although I stutter, I know what I am trying to say, so if there’s an alternative method I can use to type a word I’m stuck on that helps a lot. Generally it ...

I'm now 99% fluent. I speak. English is my native language. However, when I speak Spanish, I stutter a little. I think it's the little added anxiety from having to translate in my head. I understand ...

It sounds like you're acing it. You're so close to your Master’s. About suggestions, everyone has their own favorites. Read about them and try what you think targets your issues. Breathing has helped...

Do you have to talk much? Most people I know love the sound of their own voice. You could just listen. Nod. Answer questions etc. Do you feel like you have to make conversation? Sometimes I feel lik...
