Hi. My name is Alex. I live in Cyprus which is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. I started stuttering when I was 5 years old. When my stuttering became serious, I went to two therapists, but I did not like their way of teaching me how to overcome stuttering. I felt this was not helping me. Then I went to a third therapist who has helped me a lot. My techniques are pausing and pseudostuttering. I also changed the way I think about stuttering. Now I know that stuttering is not something that makes you less smart. I happen to be bilingual (Greek and English), and I found out that being bilingual is actually really cool. Sometimes though, children who are bilingual may repeat words and need some extra time when switching between the two languages. I am now confident to talk to other people in both languages. I don’t get anxious anymore. My reading needs a little bit of work, still. I am certain though, that I will improve this too, very soon. My favorite food is pizza, I love to play soccer and I like Fortnite.
