I Keep Forgetting How To Pronounce Words?

[PrincessJessy]

I never used to have this problem. Now, when I speak to people, I will try and say a certain word like "impossible." And I'll be like, "imposs", "impo", "impossible!" is this normal? It takes me normally 3-4 tries to get the word right. This has only been happening in the past few weeks. I'm 16. It normally happens with hard-ish words. Although it can happen with simple words too.

[Peter Pedant]

Yes this is absolutely normal for a 16 y o

I remember doing it myself. Youu're at an age where you are learning a lot fo new words and also more complex ways of using them. It will straighten itself out.

and look I can't even spell " you're " and I am 61....

Try reading some Dickens

Are you generally an anxious person ? Sounds a bit like a problem of confidence but if in doubt go to see the family Doctor.

It may be as simple as some relaxation techniques are needed.

or just getting older....

[guilliebrougues]

I agree with shoota. Perhaps you are trying to speak how you would text.
Why not try what people with a stammer do, think about what you want to say and pause before you speak This might help.

Can we be more specific here........are you "slurring" your speech?
