It’s interesting because before I started learning Arabic as an actual language, I could read the Quran with no stuttering at all. But then when I started learning Arabic, I get so stuck all the time ...

I’m a Bengali who stutters as well, English is also my first language. I would say it’s almost evenly split for me - I stutter in both English, Bangla and the Qur’anic Arabic that I recite during pray...

That’s me with Bengali and Arabic. Because my vocab is a lot more limited, I can’t easily jump words and mask myself...

Same here. I have more "practice" with English since I use it more often, so that's probably a good reason why I stutter less in English....

That’s interesting. I do speak faster when I speak English than the other languages I know, but for my my stutter can be managed a lot by practice and naturally I have more English practice...

Yes, I speak English and Russian. In Russian I stutter a lot more, both because it's a 'harsher' language, and the consonants make me more prone to blocks. Also, my vocab in Russian is more limited (I...

I have a mild stutter in English, but it's more moderate in Spanish (my first language). To be fair, its probably because I speak Spanish much more quickly than I do English (Cuban accents tend to hav...

This is similar to be with Bengali. I’m usually ok with my family but for other people I have good and bad days...

I used to stutter in Spanish, but now only when I’m mad or arguing with the wife. I stutter much more in English- to me it seems to be related to stress/anxiety....

Brother in Christ, it's the exact same for me. I learn Sylethi (a dialect of Bengali), its my mother tongue. I know bengali as well, with Hindi, English and Arabic (need to read the Quran yk). I mostl...

Was always afraid of someone teasing me or punching me. Was in grade school and some high school. Showed a bully I was stronger than him. We latter became friendly. Got to be annoying in college, didn...

What makes it hard to accept is the inconsistent nature of it. If I were to consistently stutter once every 2 sentences for 3 seconds, it would be easier to come around to it. But I can easily go from...

Same exact situation! From what I recall mine started at 13 and is primarily a block stutter. Since then there’s been times when it’s worse and times when it’s better to where i’m basically totally fl...

No, i got 6 in speaking. Overall 7. I think the examiner ignored the stutters, although it was severe. He realized it was something i had no control over, and didn't consider it while marking, maybe....

You got an overall 6. What was your speaking score? You would not get a 6 with pauses and hesitations....

Have hope that like it being severe right now, it can change. I’m a 78f who has experienced stages of better fluency. Also, take advantage of every possible treatment. Don’t overlook self-treatment as...

Good for you. Never give up trying…maybe until you’re almost 80 as I am. I’m tired. Sometimes acceptance is helpful. My stutter is very mild. I just turned down a chance for an evaluation at our local...

Wow, thanks. I’ve stuttered since early childhood. The intensity has varied. In high school it was then worse but since then has vacillated from severe, rarely, to mild/moderate throughout my adult li...

I feel that as well. I am beginning to believe my stutter is a lot worse than I thought it was ever since I started interacting with a lot of new people...

Hang in there. Stuttering waxes and wanes by its nature. This 78f knows! We aren’t sure why stuttering begins or what factors really affect it. Everyone is unique. It can be emotional, physical chang...
