Maybe even talk about the lack of insight into world economic issues...or did you foretell the downturn of late?"<br /><br />What do you want us to do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-74029769082810271112009-04-16T15:21:00.000+02:002009-04-16T15:21:00.000+02:00I'm always fascinated when other countries researc...I'm always fascinated when other countries research stuttering.<br /><br />And what intrigues me even more is that I speak Mandarin and English and I stutter in both languages.<br /><br />When I was younger (around 6) my parents took me to a psychologist to examine my stuttering (this was in the early-80s) and his reasoning was that I was learning too many languages at once (i.e. English in school, Mandarin with my parents, and Taiwanese with my grandparents).<br /><br />He told my parents if we focused on one language it would be better.<br /><br />Well obviously that didn't work, but does his theory have merit? Do those people who speak more than one language have a higher rate of stuttering?Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-85851115864625820152009-04-16T12:45:00.000+02:002009-04-16T12:45:00.000+02:00Just sent you the paper.
