Foreign Languages and Stuttering

Foreign Languages and Stuttering As a bit of background, I'm 16 and from Colombia. Spanish is my first language but My family and I moved to the U.S. when I turned 7. I'm fluent in both languages yet ...

Think of stuttering as an iceberg model i.e. 10% is what you see, 90% is what you don't see. The act of stuttering is just the end result of a myriad of other things that went wrong i.e. word scanni...

I hate that fact that speech pathologists and researchers don't understand what stuttering is. It's like that line from Good Will Hunting "If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinn...

>When it comes talking to people I believe it's all a mental game. Even though I consciously may think x person is not intimidating what so ever... my unconscious mind may think otherwise. It's rea...

I am thinking about a IT consulting career, but I'm not sure how to deal with many presentations. I noticed when I'm passionate and proud about something, I can explain it very fluently and don't stut...

Computer bench technician. I like being in the back room to work. But I do have to answer the phone to help clients resolve issues. I find the more I know about my trade, the more confident my speech....

I worked at my uncle's bicycle shop while in highschool. At first, I primarily stayed in the back working on bikes, cleaning, or restocking tubes on the floor. As I got interested in the sport, I star...

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I can conquer the voice, sometimes not. The quote about the chasm sent shivers down me when I first read it - the narrator is a zombie who's still got hi...

I'm of the 'just talk' camp, too. But sometimes it's just so fucking hard...and like others say, when I'm writing I'm a far better person. There are a couple of excerpts from Warm Bodies by Isaac Mar...

I'm from the just talk camp as well. I've never been one to let my stutter shut me up, but it's so god damn infuriating when it ruins my delivery on a joke. ...

the biggest thing I came to realize was that either people don't care or are curious. The dynamics of college for me were much different than high school in terms of how people react to others diffe...

I'm in the middle of reading the book "How we decide"and i've come across something interesting. People perform much worse when they overthinking at something they do naturally .In the book were give ...

Like most of you I have been stuttering for as long as I can remember, my stutter has also accounted for some of the decisions that I made. I just wrote this down for motivation hope this helps you to get though your struggle.

It's unfortunate...

It's unfortunate... It's unfortunate how much people read into someone's ability to speak well. We are literally measured -our entire beings and lives- by how well we speak. We're judged and devalued,...

Thanks for your ideas. That very well might be what he(?) was referring to. Kind of like big picture v. small picture. I was wondering if he was referring to the linguistic (word meaning) v. the mot...
