That is, repetitively saying what you will eventually say in class? I had a Math teacher who was a stammerer during my secondary school days, but I met the man in 2010 and he spoke so fluently that you would hardly know he was once a stammerer. Guy, I don't know how you see it, but I see the teaching job as a huge opportunity for you to overcome stammering. Imagine your forcing yourself to talk for hours and days and weeks and months. This should do a positive justice to your speech muscle. Guy, please try reciting difficult tongue twisters. Also develop customized tongue twisters that are in line with the things you normally discuss with people. This way, you will become very familiar with the words and sentences, and your mouth will be more used to them so that you can say them as quickly and fluently as possible whenever the need arises. I strongly advise you try this. Finally, pick a newspaper, a novel or any well written stuff and then try to read all the pages aloud. Do this for about 3-5 hours per day. Memorize some of what you read aloud. Now, try to say these things by heart without any aid. Repeat the process until you yourself can see a marked improvement. I am not a stammerer, but this technique has helped me improve my spoken skills. You will get there. It will shele. T22 3 Likes |

For many years, Stammering is considered to be psychological problems in humans associated with lack of co-ordination between the centers of the brain and the mouth, caused due to a self- developed incorrect speech mode of the individual. However, researchers have shed light upon the field of stammering through recent tests which have showed that Stammering is connected with a "physical" problem caused due to the nerve impulses between the organs of the mouth and the Basal Ganglia, a part of the brain Basal Ganglia is basically associated with the co-ordination of physical movements of our body parts. The over secretion of a chemical enzyme secreted by a part of the Basal Ganglia, called " Dopamine" is said to cause stammering. Due to this, the affected person will have problems in properly synchronizing the utterance of a word with the nerve impulses sent by the brain. Due to the deformity, the affected person will be having problems in receiving impulses from the brain to initiate a particular word or syllable This is the reason why a stammerer can sing perfectly without any problem. When you sing, you need not pre-medidate any word or syllable, nor do you need to recollect and initiate any word or syllable deliberately from your memory, as all words come in a rhythmic flow. Researchers are now making experiments to discover a medicine that will control the secretion of "Dopamine" thus controlling stammering in humans. Till, then we'll just have to wait Useful Tips and suggestions for Stammerers 1. Never demoralise yourself for the reason of being a stammerer. Always remember, "Everyone speak in a different way, you are one of them. No one else has to worry about how you speak". So, don't hate yourself for being a stammerer 2. Remember that you are just another human being, Stammering does not make you inferior than others. You still possess unique qualities and talents that others may not possess 3. Don't substitute easier words in place of words that are difficult to pronounce. Many stammerers follow this habit, but this will only worsen your stammering. If you feel uncomfortable saying a word, better stay silent 4. Don't make artificial physical movements of parts of the head and mouth when you speak. Remember that Stammering is concerned with the brain. It has nothing to do with your external parts of the body 5. Always have a positive frame of mind and believe that you can overcome stammering. Always believe in the "Impossible is nothing" motto |

I do stammer, but I don't consider it a handicap. Initially I allowed it to limit my potentials till I got angry one day and vowed no more. I said to myself; I am smarter than most of my colleagues, why not find an avenue to show it. I also searched deep down and realised that I stammer more when am nervous and my nervousness is usually born out thinking of HOW I'm gonna say stuff rather than dwelling on WHAT I'm gonna say. I also realised that when I'm with close friends whom I'm very free with and speaking with a particular accent, my stammering becomes grossly reduced. That became a key; I have risen to become the HOD in my office, holding daily management meetings, my wife and daughter now speaks with a kind of accent in a bid to immitate my style of speaking. The truth is that once in a while the ugly monster crops up but I don't let it bother me. The most potent tool is to free ur mind of the fact that you stammer and avoid being nervous. Afterall, almost everyone stammers when nervous. 3 Likes |
