Stutterer in Japan I am Stutterer and I live in Japan. I somehow can manage to control my stutter in my native language but I stutter(block) so bad in Japanese language. Because of stuttering/blocking, I sometimes get mistaken as not fluent in Japanese(which is quite opposite, I passed N1 level in Japanese and know how to use most difficult usages). That's too depressing. I want to be part of Japanese community. Everytime everyone is talking I want to participate in the talk but the block is stopping me. Whenever I try to say something and block, Japanese ppl give me the look like I can't speak Japanese or something. At this point I just want to drop d*ad. How to overcome this blocking? Please help me
