commentr/StutterNovember 22, 2016

Content

My native tongue is English. I've learned both Chinese (my parents are Chinese) and Spanish. In Spanish, my stutter was roughly the same, but in Chinese, my stutter is 10x worse. I don't know why, and it's a bummer because when Chinese people try to talk to me, I look like I can't even speak my parents' language when really, I'm just stuttering. I've even had Chinese people laugh at me for it because they don't get what's going on. :(
