Have you analyzed it? What's causing it for you? I have some thoughts on this. Like do you have better speech talking to some people, and with others you don't? Did you have a psychological trauma when you were a kid? For example, I tend to have the problem when talking to my father, and it's much less existent when I'm talking to my mom or my sisters. Also, it can get worse from instant coffee (even quality ones). * Sometime I feel like any headache or pain transcends itself into my speech. For example, if I take ibuprofen or aspirin, it becomes better because it alleviates pain (and reduces inflammation). * I speak better when I stand compared to sitting. * I speak better lying on my back, because it normalizes my breathing and improves blood flow to the head. * Everytime I added a language into my toolbox, I had the glitches. Adding japanese made it worse. I lived in Jp. * At first I had the problem with English, but after I heard one of the girls at my high school class speak, I learnt from her. Like she helped me overcome it. Probably and years of learning I guess. * I have headaches from a chronic inflammation of arachnoidal nerve (since recently, like for about 4 years), so when I walk I get headaches, but things that relieve the headache or improve blood flow to the head improve my speech. * I was sorta attacked by a huge Shepherd when I was between 3-5. He just barked right in my face very loudly for enough time that I was shocked/probably traumatized from it. * One of the neighbor guys, had a speech problem but in a more severe form, I think his father caused it. He was a BIG TIME SCREAMER and very strict. He's from the military. His loud screaming was terrifying. My father was kind of rough on the edges too. He'd scream at me for chewing loudly. No, no, he's been a GREAT supporter of the family and a father, but definitely quite loud when he was angry. Loud screaming can terrify a kid so much it can affect the kid's speech, I think. I think I'm missing some more, but I'll add if it comes to mind. EDIT: +1) Growing up I had to speak 2 languages. One of them was Russian and I was better at it than at my native language. So out of 4 languages I know, I'm better at Russian and English than at Japanese and my native. My native and Japanese are a bit alike because they have lots of vowels and M, N, etc. Also, Russian & English used to be considered cooler than my native language (in my young mind, I guess. back in the day). I was sent to a school where my native language was spoken. So it triggered the problem a lot. My other relatives went to a Russian speaking school and I usually spoke russian in the kindergarten, the hood, before school. +2) I always had sinus problem on my left side of the nose and when I had a surgery on the left side, my speech IMPROVED CONSIDERABLY. However later on left nostril would just block itself due to some allergic elements in the air or something. I started using nasal spray late. That might have disrupted a natural way of breathing. +3) Taking quality omega 3 might be the right move in the direction to better fluency. Currently I can't afford to take enough of it. But at least I know a quality brand. +4) Since I struggled with Japanese, my speech became worse. Also I got Arachnoiditis since approximately 2010 when I slipped and hit the back of my head which probably caused Arachnoiditis which appears in the form of headaches (I got MRI scan recently). So, struggling with new language and triggering the problem can possibly aggravate it.
