Hello, Ricky. Thank you for your kind words. Yes, the client had achieved a very good fluency after a stuttering modification treatment. When he heard about the research group, asked to join in because he wanted to know what happened in his throat when English was the spoken language. He clearly reported that when speaking English it was as if he hadn't learned any techniques at all. After we found out what was happening in his vocal tract while speaking/reading English, he learned some different ways of approaching the English phonemes and got better. But up to today, his fluency decreases in the second language. Thank you and best regards.
