I am in the same position. I speak, write and understand Spanish to perfection and I have thought about being a Spanish teacher because of how passionate I am about that language, but I have a mild st...

I would love to be a teacher but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do

I would love to be a teacher but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do So I’m currently 17 and I’m thinking about what I want to do after school and one of the things I would love to do is teach,...

What you see are a lot of carefully planned speeches. He rehearses his speeches and comments a lot and intentionally picks words or phrases that are easier for him. If you watch him, a lot of his paus...

I had the same problem. “Present” was my go to. No matter what everyone else is saying, be different, special. If you have to say “here”, I’d say it without emphasizing the “h”, as in a hard “ear”. It...

You can try saying present or just yes . You know as in I'm present here or yes. So in my school people used to either say present or here or yes so whichever worked for me that day I said that....

Same. The people often thought that I was uneducacted because I can't answer for a question in school. But I knew the answer. I only can't spoken it....

Can totally relate here. Ive been trying to tell people about my stutter and open up about it to people at school, but I dont want to stutter on the word stutter 😅...

Then do what the other replies suggested, and substitute the word for something else, don't put pressure on yourself to say it...

I don’t want him to think differently of me. Idk I just wished I could not freeze up and just say “here”...

I’ve been avoiding saying “here” by saying “I think something is wrong with my_____” and I’m running out of excuses. I’m scared I will just freeze and he won’t know I’m here and everyone will stare at...

I have a hard time saying here. So I found saying something easy and common like yes/yep/yeah is a good substitute. Or I raise my hand when I find I am having trouble...

Can you say "yep" or "yeah" instead? This was always easier than "here" when I'd block in school. 'ere or year (but make the "y" sound silent so it sounds like 'ere) are also tricks that can work. Al...

Say “present”. If you can swap another word the block will disappear...

I understand, I often do the same too. but I try as often as possible to practice speaking to people...

As customers, we aren't the most memorable things to the employee. When I was a cashier I pretty much immedieatly forgot the customer once they left, unless they were rude or creepy (or did something ...

I feel the same too. My method is that when I need to buy something specific, I just show the seller a picture on my phone and just say "hello, I'm looking for this". So much easier than explaining wh...

Yeah, I feel much better now. I try to practice my speech, but I don't see any effects. In the end, I'm come back to the start again. Some teachers know about my problem (I didn't talk to them about ...

Should I disclose my stutter in a job interview?

Should I disclose my stutter in a job interview? I have a interview for a fast food restaurant in a few days, and I'm reasonably confident that I will get the job. My stutter is incredibly inconsist...

At my new job, there’s way to get around not using the PA (example, finding the person as I’m on the shop floor now) however it’d make life a lot more easier if I was able to use it. :/...

Interesting, it's usually the opposite for me. When I'm reading a pre-determined thing on a card, paper, etc. I almost always stutter. But if I'm in free-flowing conversation where I can substitute wo...
