Answer 2

You could try reciting silly poems - to practice the words that you have trouble with. You could enlist the help of a good friend and have them listen to you to make sure that you are pronouncing the sounds correctly. It doesn't help to keep practicing the sounds incorrectly. This might help a mild problem. But it would be much better to seek professional help. At 21 you are very young and have a lot of living ahead of you. This could affect your self confidence, your ability to succeed in a career of your choice and socially. If you are attending a school - community college, college, or university - you could seek the help of a school counselor. You might also be helped by a university speech pathology program. The students need to practice with patients to learn their field and you might be a perfect candidate for them. It would help you both. Best wishes!

Answer 3

So sorry to hear that. They should have helped you in public school system. My six year old needs speech therapy and they are doing it a the public school system level. Speech thereapy is expensive. Some health insurnace plans cover it. Start there and see if they can offer you some help.

Answer 4

Join your local Toastmasters club, they have been helping people with public speaking and conversational impediments for many years. It's also a great way to meet and network with people in your community!

Answer 5

This might sound silly,but try practicing in front of a mirror.
