Interviews Hello! I am going to apply for a scholarship to study in Japan named MEXT. The problem is that i have a stutter and the interview phase is known (at least in my country), to be spoken in 3 languages: Spanish, English and Japanese. I have achieved good fluency in Spanish but i am awful in the other two, but, does stuttering gives you "less points"? I still have time to practice my speaking, but in any case, should I tell the interviewers that i have a stutter and not because i am nervous? This scholarship emphasizes in it's guidelines that they seek for good communication skills, which obviously I don't have at 100% but i am good working as a team and also independently.
