Translation: Hi, Ane. I am glad That you were able to publish those images. They say a lot! My question is about that patient who already had a good fluency and, when speaking English stuttered as before. Why did this happen, since speaking in another language the speech rate cis usually slower? Thanks for you attention! Answer: Hello Marta, I have translated your question so the participants understad it. Thank you for your participation. I do not have THE right answer to your question. My hypothesis is that stuttering is a language disorder. It will happen independently of the language that is spoken. I've seen cases where the person improves fluency in a foreign language while the linguistic code is not fully mastered. But, as soon as the linguistic skill level improves, stuttering appears. You know we have different types of stuttering and this understanding takes away the possibility of a definitive answer to your question. This is why I work with processes and not with programs. I am able to meet the needs of each person more directly, most of the time. Cheers!
