Speech pathology graduate student here. Came here to agree with natabean. Your brain uses a different, more manual neuro-motor pathway when speaking English because it is your second language and less...

How fluent are you in English? Since it may not be a native language, you could be using a different part of your brain to create the motor plan for your speech. Honestly, stuttering is so complex. I...

I have to disagree with the premise of your post. At the root of it is the idea that stuttering is something that happens to you. However, that's not the case. Stuttering is a behavior--it is somethin...

I understand where PrinceofTruth is coming from (as you might tell from my own post). I don't like to make assumptions, but here goes (anyone correct me if I'm totally off). It might help in putting P...

Some insights on my stutter after being filmed for a TV quiz

Some insights on my stutter after being filmed for a TV quiz Hi all, I'm new to this subreddit, but subscribed recently because I want to share my experiences. I realise my stuttering may be relativel...

YES, I've had the same experience, albeit with a lesser spectrum of substances. Alcohol doesn't help, cannabis might even make it worse (and I hate how heavily it clouds my mind). Apart from those, I'...

Stutter in different languages?

Stutter in different languages? Hi! Found this subreddit and I wanted to ask something I've wondered. I'm multilingual (Spanish, English and German), and I found I stutter the most in English, my eve...

Hello, I'm new and here and want to ask if you guys have any tips for avoiding stuttering while reading. I'm a 16 year old male who has had a stutter my whole life.

Hi! I've been stuttering since I was 3, so I don't remember myself without it. It was pretty bad in primary school, got worse in middle school (got bullied a lot, no one dared to be friends with me fo...

I use easy onset, pull outs, cancellations. What I found works best for me is starting with an easy onset and then using vocal fold management to control my pace (I tend to talk very fast to help not ...

Thank you! glad things went smoothly. Rome might have been harder to get out, because it's cool to share he's going to a neat place like Rome so subconsciously, he might have been excited to share and...

It depends on the people I talk with. I haven't figured it out yet, but a certain kind of people just make me stutter. I think it's because they give me the feeling that they don't really care what I ...

I always use to say it gives me a forced ability to think about what im saying before i say it, as the mind always outruns the mouth. In that sense a lot of people would benefited from stuttering....

I'm a little late to the party, but here goes -- While it's true that people who stutter generally stutter less when talking with animals, very young children and to themselves, stuttering doesn't to...

Interesting. I stutter a lot when I speak Spanish...is there an explanation for that? ...

My understanding is that stuttering decreases or disappears whenever there is an activity that does not go directly from thought to speech. Singing is one well-known one. Another tends to be a second/...

I wouldn't use that terminology of "cleansing" etc. for food. It sounds too wooey. There is evidence that intermittant fasting has benefits but it isn't some magical thing, and I doubt it has anythi...

I don't mind presentations too much, but outside of them my speech can get pretty bad. Last year I was taking case study course (do a case study, do a report and present it every 2 weeks). Thought I w...
