Something like that happened me recently. I don’t talk much in college so only my ‘friend group’ knows I stutter. One day I was asked a question in class and I stuttered. Afterwards a guy came up to...

I see we had the same experience! Well English pronunciation as far as from the French one than it is from the Spanish one, I'd reckon? Anyway, I also stepped out of my confort zone and became (way) m...

I'm 26, and the anxiety hasn't gone away completely, but it's a lot better than it was when I was younger. I think the more we allow ourselves to stutter, and just let it happen, the easier and easier...

This is very funny, and I could relate to that! I am a Spanish native speaker and naturally stuttered more in Spanish, but not in English nor Japanese! I read somewhere that it all depends on the lang...

I don’t think it ever 100% goes away, but age & experience go a long way towards that. I’m 32 & have been pretty indifferent about it for a few years now. Just be confident in yourself & u...

Make sure to practice, knowing your material is, at least for me, the most important part. Creating a PowerPoint, if possible, helps me because it takes their eyes off of me, makes me less nervous. ...
