I am pretty good at english. I was doing very well in school.... But I don't seem to speak english very well. I was speaking well before but now I stammer alot...words don't flow out of my mouth. I need to think alot before I say something . And people mistake me to be very rude or maybe even consider me as a snob. But I am not. And it hurts me alot...

Practice by reading an english book out loud to yourself. Try to find one with alot of conversation in it to show you how the speach patterns of people change as they are talking. I'm sure that nothing is wrong with you, except maybe a little bit of insecurity, which we all have so you're great. Best wishes

Nothing is wrong. Breathe take a deep breath, and know that deep within the well of who you are is Divine. As we go through life we collect experiences and situations that are being held somewhere in our mind that has caused us to forget that wonderfulness and we lose our natural flow. It happens to everyone in different ways at different times in their life. You can't be responsible for what others think of you but you can be responsible for what you think of "you". Find your magic again by dreaming and focusing on the activities and situations that bring you happiness. This has a way of healing that which is unsettled in us. Remember, you were born a brilliant diamond and as a diamond goes through life "stuff" may stick to it. It doesn't change the fact it is still really a diamond. Remember your Essence and let go of the stuff that isn't really you so your natural brilliance can shine again. I hope this helps.

You should really consider seeing a doctor. Sudden speech problems sometimes are an effect of brain damage. I knew someone that I was pretty close to that slowly started getting worse at pronouncing her words (she was about 50). But there were other signs too. She went to the doctor and they found a brain tumor. I'm not saying you have a brain tumor, so don't let this scare you, I'm just saying it'd be really smart to see a doctor just incase. =)

Is English your first language? Or can you think of anything that has happened recently that might of contributed to this? Have you been injured lately? Do you have any trouble doing other things you used to be able to do well? If you are having trouble in general with things you used to be able to do you may have a brain injury. I noticed your name was soccer girl, perhaps you have a concussion from playing soccer. If you have a headache, feel drowsy, and/or notice that your pupils are uneven or don't react to light you have a head injury and need to go to the hospital.

You need to take your time when speaking and consider what type of words you going to say, and speaking them clearly. Practice out loud in the mirror and listen I mean really listen to yourself. Practice makes perfect not really because no one is perfect but you can make it better. Stop being so hard on yourself everybody doesn't speak well. Good Luck.

English isn't the problem. You have an insecurity problem I think. Go talk to a couselor there's no shame in it. OR just plain stop worrying about what other people might think if you stammered.

I'm sure there is nothing wrong with you, and I think you are doing yourself an injustice to think so.
The English language is a tough one to learn...many know it well, yet speak it incorrectly.
It takes constant practice. Continue to do the best that you can do. That is ALL you can do.
Those that do not understand are probably not your friends... don't worry about them. Find friends that do, and that are proud of you and offer help.
I am proud of you and I wish you the very best!

It sounds as though your just nervous or afraid of maybe speaking out? I get this way if i am nervous..or maybe intimidated by certain people.
Or afraid that everything u say doesnt make sense to some people...so u tend to simply maybe want to think first before you speak. I need to do this more often..think first before blurting out something that comes out the wrong way...then it just leads to frustration.

Some people get self-conscious after certain stages in school. They get uncomfortable in new crowds, new classes, or about the way their voice sounds to others all at points where they think they may be inferior in some way. Try not being so self-inflictive of yourself. Just let you be you, not trying to live up to other expectations.

Relax. That happens to me sometimes, and I've been speaking English for a very long time.
