This is a really old thread, and OP probably doesn't need anything anymore, but I felt that I should add my two cents as I didn't see it in the comments. I actually stutter very little when I'm arou...

How do you deal with oral exams? Soon I will be having two oral exams. Both will be in English, which is only my second language and has me stuttering a lot more than I already do, so I guess most of ...

Same here. I cannot for the life of me pronounce anything with an H at the start. I have to find ways around all words starting with an H and it is beyond infuriating. ...

Reading out loud never was a problem for me. In my case, if I say a word fast enough (before I realize that I usually get stuck at this word) I don't stutter at all. Same thing when I have to repeat ...
