Weird, I never stutter when I speak Spanish, but more often when I speak English. (I'm American)...

Totally. When I sing, speak with a fake accent or talk in a funny voice I don't stutter at all. ...

It is possibly because that is a function of rhythm or intonation, both of the right hemisphere of the brain and separate from language and the theoretical origins of stuttered speech. Same thing happ...

I have noticed (and wonder if others have noticed as well), that when I speak any language with a contrived accent I don't stutter much at all. For example if I, as an American, speak English with a "...

My stutter gets so much worse when I'm speaking Spanish. I'm Hispanic but English is my first language, but I have realized that I don't stutter as much when I speak Spanish with an American accent. ...

My stutter is almost nonexistant when I speak my second language (English) which I've always thought was weird....

There's actually a science behind this. It's to do with pathways in the brain, quite hard to explain, something like the dual-processing theory. Basically there's a subconscious route we use when spea...

I speak Spanish and English and Spanish is my second language. I have never stuttered while speaking Spanish, and I cannot find out why....

My German was pretty bad back in high school. The stutter was a part of it, but I noticed I didn't stutter nearly as much while speaking English. I think I was too focused on speaking correctly to car...

Thank you for sharing your story. I am 27 and still have a stutter from when I was 6 years old (this morning I had trouble getting out the word "animation" for a good 5 seconds). I am also a litigator...

Same here, I am an amazing writer and I love writing essays and stories for classes. I can really take the time to think about what I want to say and say it just right. I've been getting better with m...

American Idol audition - Lazaro Arbos stutters but sings fluently ...

I knew about singing, but I didn't know talking about specific topics or when people were around video games and talking was another "respite" time for people who stutter. I'll have to check the subre...

Me as a Stutter but as a Gamer

Me as a Stutter but as a Gamer I can relate to that last singer on American Idol today on 1/17/12. Maybe with not the singing but with the Stutter in which my stutter goes away when I play video games...
