What causes you to speak improperly? I'm listing what I've searched so far and what causes me to speak improperly.. 1. Contracted larynx (most people can't hear what we're saying) 2. Breath loss (this causes sudden break) 3. Preprogrammed mind with wrong pronunciation words (wrong pronunciation that are fast and easy to speak already gets wired in our mind) 4. Not knowing what to say next (sometimes we fear so much or speak too fast that our brains don't process what we have to say next) 5. Not knowing how long to pause before saying next word (same as the previous one, like after completing a sentence we should pause for a few milliseconds more compared to gap between words) 6. Speaking really fast (fear of speaking plays a role here as speaking fast makes us get out of the burden fast) 7. Fear of speaking or embarrassment of improper speaking (this is most common among stutterers and is a big factor) 8. Unable to pronounce some words or sounds (this is the most literal and basic factor) If you find some other reasons do add it too :)
