A way to speak fluently So I’ve always had a speech block. Not severe that it’s noticeable but it bothers me on a daily basis like it bothers you also. I’m making this post because I found something interesting about my speech. Whenever I have music that’s blasting loud (headphones) where I can barely hear myself speaking. I become fluent. I never have these speech blocks. I can speak both languages. Portugease which is extremely tough because of my speech blocks considering its emphasis on vowels. And also English I speak fluently. Just thought to share it with you guys. Possibly it can help you. But in a way it’s quite useless cuz your not going to be living your life with blasting music where u can barely hear urself and others always. But maybe it can be good practice. Who knows. You can have the music out loud and record yourself reading a book. Maybe it will make you feel better or give you confident that maybe there is a way out.
