View Full Version : Stuttering "before" t's and d's

When I stutter on a letter like "p", the repetition starts on the "p" so I say "p p p p ....". This is annoying but at least people understand I mean "p".

But for "t"s (and to a lesser extent "d"s) it is worse because when my stutter on them sounds like "shshshshsh", and in the end the "t" sound is very wet, like "shshshshshshtshshstshable" for "table".
As a matter of fact, it feels like the repetition kicks in even before I have the time to complete any of the "t" sounds.
As a result, these words are difficult to understand because people think I am saying "ch" rather than "t" or "d".

Does anyone else have these problems on these letters? Or other sounds that sound differently when they stutter?

B, G and J are the worst for me. I struggle really bad on words like balloon and the names Gemma and Jeanette who are people I know.
What makes thing worse for me is I cant pronounce my w's and r's like Jonathon Ross and I live by Warren Road, now when I give my address I say its by Warren and end up spelling it as it comes out as Rowan Road.

I don't repeat, but have silent blocks. If I were to call Elliott, I won't be able to say his name, but if I were to say, HI, Is Elliott home. Then I could do it. I couldn't say my name, Eugene, so I tell people Gene. The french people call me Jean or my full name, sounds like hugene and a Italian friend calls me Geno.

So, E, I, I just can't say I love you, so instead Love you. m is the real one that I stutter on, I repeat on that letter for sure.
