RE: Speech Impediment (disorder); My Life Story.
Hello @geniusvillain
I don't have any speech impediment. But have have friends who do. They all have the |r| sound impediment. They all are from Lagos, Nigeria. There is a famous believe that people from Lagos do not know how to pronounce the sound |r|. I don't know how true that is but I'll check.
Some have tried to overcome theirs by trying to pronounce the word correctly everytime they speak. They aren't always successful. I know of only one that did come close but always make the wrong sound whenever he speaks fast.
Maybe there is a cure for it, I do not know but I hope you overcome yours.
Hello @learnandteach01
I am just hearing of this, it's probably just an anomaly. It could also be that I never noticed. I'll start to pay attention to the way Lagos guys speak.
I can make the sound now at will but I'll need a lot of practice making it my default way of speaking.
Thanks for stopping by.
