I stuttered a lot and had to correct myself, and my speaking partner had to slow down and use simple words to help me along, but I did it! I made myself understood!
It helped that I’d sort of been thrown headfirst into a conversation without a chance to think about it, otherwise I probably would have had a meltdown from anxiety. But I’m really proud of myself for managing to string words together to form sentences, even if they were very short.
Well done!! Loads of positives in there and definitely no negatives! The stuttering, slowing down and correcting yourself is all perfectly natural and part of the process (so positive)
