That's an interesting thought. How exactly does rhythm help you to speak fluently? I teach my students a strategy called pausing and phrasing, where they break up long sentences/paragraphs into shorter phrases and take quick pauses in between those phrases. We talk about natural places to pause in speech (comas, conjunctions, periods, etc.) But, I've never really thought about using rhythm. I'm inferring that you have a stutter (correct me if I'm wrong), so from your point of view how do you use rhythm in your speech?
