slurred speech


Question Posted Monday April 2 2007, 11:24 pm

when i talk, it comes out slurred, and people have a hard time understanding me sometimes.

it wasnt always like that though: 2 years ago people understood me just fine, and i never had trouble saying things.

now, i talk really slow, and sometimes my tongue feels too big.

i think its because i am bilingual, and i speak the other langauge most of the time (and that one i speak fine) its just english i have so much trouble with. i used to be this really chatty girl, but my self confidence really went down becasue of this.

are there any excercises that i could do to improve my speaking abilities? talking more in english is not an option, but like reading aloud or something, would that help? what about talking with marbles in my mouth? (thats from my fair lady lol)

please help
