Thanks for your answer! Yes what you described is exactly what happened to me.Holding the first sound was the only way i succeed to start conversation instead silent blocks. And like you wrote: after it i felt that i prolong the sound too much,without moving to anywhere. So now i try to "be in the block" just to release my tongue tension,and then despite the fear i try to move to the next sound. What i tried to say is: that also when i am stuck,i concentrate only on the first sound,and it helps to release the tension more quickly in order to move to the vowel,with gentle onset. For me it is a game of timing,to know when to move to the next sound,not too quickly cause it can cause me a silent block,but not waiting until the tongue will be completely relax ,but stable without interrupting me moving to the vowel. ari
