Will you share with us one word that has been really hard for you? And, the origin of the word? For example, many adult pws fear their own name....

A trending expression that is helpful is "acceptance and then evolution." I accept I stutter AND I have many choices. I can look at people during a stutter. I can take on feared words versus avoid ...

I'll typically change the word to something absurd to throw them off. Me: "I'm going to the st-..st-.." Person: "Store." Me: "Stutterers convention. Ass."...

I went to my doctor and told him about my issue and I didn't stutter one time and felt like he was low key judging me for that lol...but he gave me propranolol so I'll see how that goes....

I used to say “thank you” in ASL (sign language). Most people know that sign, no verbal speaking necessary. 💁🏻‍♂️ I still do that sometimes, despite not being reliant any longer on ASL for some basi...

British Stutterer's are "Lucky"!

British Stutterer's are "Lucky"! I'm not being serious there, tongue in cheek. but we have a representative from a software vendor spending the week with us at work who is from England. He has a block...

When someone guesses my word or finishes my sentence, I usually continue saying it on my own. They eventually learn that it's not going to speed things up and I'm going to say my own words. Although a...

USSHunter, "remember" used to kick my butt. Ironically, I would say "do you recall?" instead !\*! I had a phobia of "remember." With /r/, your tongue is way back on the top of your mouth. You wa...

I’ve been learning a few but the one that I’m best at is Irish. Yes, it’s very hard to speak if but that doesn’t really matter. I love the language and just because I struggle to say a few of the word...

Don't really have any advice, just my own observations on learning Spanish. I lived in Ecuador for 2 years (used to be mormon and was a missionary down there) where I learned Spanish after taking 4 ye...

I know the feeling. Group discussions are difficult because I either end up getting cut off and are afraid to speak or have to take an extra second and the conversation has already moved on....

I don't know why I lied about that, it was a spur of the moment thing and I was uncomfortable. I agree that there are ways to improve and obviously I want to be the best presenter I can and help the c...
