Thank you very much for your comments Lewis. I speak both English and French and from my own personal experience I stutter most in French which is my second language.I am always of a verbal disadvantage if i have to express myself in French. Perhaps its because I have not yet mastered the language. A higher percentage of Anglophones stutter in my country to Francophones. I have more Anglophone children who stutter. I have discovered that when a choses to speak in a language he/she does not understand best he/she fines it difficult to deal with his/her fear of stuttering. stuttering might really be more severe in one language over the other among the students who stutter in your bilingual school? How i wish you visit my country to work with children who stutter in the nearest future. Keep in touch Lewis and God bless you. Jonas
