Learn to say an "s" correctly. This is seriously just about the easiest problem for any person to solve about themselves. Losing 15 pounds is far harder.
I was bullied for multiple things when I was in school, my lisp being one of them. It was pretty bad in middle school, but it's never been so bad that you can't understand what I'm saying. I'm EXTREMELY insecure about it and even though it's gotten a lot better and some people only notice it when I point it out, I still hate it and am extremely conscious of it when I speak.
Princess Galvan Remember that those people who mocked you will remember you in guilt when they have problems or see you succeed. If no-one says anything now - I wish you all the best.
I have a lisp. I hate the word. I also hate clothes, trying to say maths, anything that ends in a ths, and I also have problems distinguishing between symbol and thimble.
Joe S hey umm my friend told me just today I have a bit of a lisp PLSSS TELL ME DID U OVERCOME THE "THS" sound if so tell me how pls I'm having trouble with sloths maths clothes :c
I must have a lisp that makes me sound uninteresting when I ask a woman on a date. I feel it's a problem so my health insurance should cover dating advice, or hookers, or something like that.
At 51, I still have a pretty bad tongue tie (a real physical disability) that was never corrected, so despite years of speech therapy as a child, some words still trip me up, especially if I say them too fast. To properly say some words with the T or TH sound I quite literally have to slow my speech and concentrate on how I position my tongue. I recently had a friend point out that I fail to say the first T in internet properly. It comes out sounding more like innernet for me. Even more frustrating than my lifelong struggle with speaking is those times when I stumble over a word and people will correct me impatiently. Sometimes, I tell people, “or however you say it,” or I outright say, “I can’t say that right.” There are always a few people who correct me with this exasperated look/attitude conveying, “Sheezh! It’s easy.” Yes, for you it’s easy to say properly. For me, it’s sometimes nearly impossible to properly say the same word that you just said so easily. Some people can be really insensitive to those with speech impediments, sadly. Almost everyone assumes talking is easy for everyone, when it absolutely isn’t.
What country are you from? The VAST MAJORITY of native english speakers in America do not pronounce the first T in internet. They can easily pronounce it when they want to, but most people (unconsciously) say INNERNET. So congratulations, you pronounce internet like most Americans.
I believe in you! Btw idk if you'll see this cause you commented 2 yrs ago, but your username speaks the truth 🤭 didn't expect to find a once in a random video like this!
I had a lisp for the longest time. but didn't notice it or cared until I heard a recording of myself. then I watched a few RU-vid videos and just fixed it.
im 11 years old and i have a lisp i take therapy but it never helps and i get bullyed at school for saying " SHHHHH " and the other kids will mock me and do " ZZZZZZZSSSHHHHH "
Harryw007 1) What does me being a "geek" have to do with anything? Like seriously, where did that come from? 2) Says the guy that has a Minecraft block as his profile pic. Hahah. Hahahahahah. Hah.
I still suffer from a very subtle lisp, it was identified as a lateral lisp but I think that after some therapy I had it managed to transform into a less-serious (imo anyway) dentalized lisp. But I always thought I sounded perfectly fine anyway so it's hard for me to judge.
I have a lisp and at my school my best friend and I go to a speech class, it really helps! but I'm only 10 years old, so I think that I may grow out of it, this video helped me so much, thank you!! I subscribed, and turned on notifications, and liked 😁 keep up the great work!
I used to have a lisp as a child, and I got bullied a lot for it, so I spent everyday looking in the mirror and trying to keep my tongue on the roof of my mouth when pronouncing "s", and eventually it worked, and so I basically trained myself as a child to get rid of it 😂
i've always hated my voice and had trouble saying a lot at once, but i never thought to much about it until this year because i moved schools. i didn't even know what a lisp was, now people ask me to say words and imitate me, it sucks
I have a small lisp, it’s kind of a really messed up word, to name something something that the person who has it can’t even say well. My lisp is who I am, I actually love it, I’m unique.
I have a kind of lisp different from all these I think. I'm 14, and I've asked my mom to look into speech therapy, which I don't know why I never had as a child. Both of my sisters did. I have a lot of trouble getting the "s" sound out of my mouth, and when I do it sounds like "SL", that's the best way I can describe it on here. I hope therapy does something. :/
i have a lisp for "s" and i was bullied throughout my elementary, middle and grade 9 and 10 years for it. lisp was one of the reasons why i was "teased"
I've had a really severe lisp my entire life, mostly due to a medical condition that causes me to have a lot of saliva in my mouth. A lot of times I have to tilt my head back a little to make sure I don't drool, which sucks because I'm tall. When I was in school, kids made fun of me, one called me "slobberin' Robin". A few said that I was mentally challenged even though I consistently got some of the highest grades. Sadly, I think both my speech impediment and my autism have prevented me from keeping a steady job as an adult and from finding love.
+Harryw007 That's a sequencing error called metathesis. Like some who say aminal and pusketti or skabetti. Lisping is a problem with saying /s/ The thun is tho hot we need to go thwimming. Sometimes it's artificially produced as with the "gay accent".
I had (still do when my mouth gets lazy) a lisp for s. I blame preschool because they said ‘say s like a snake’ I think they meant snake starts with s or they can go into an s shape, but as snakes stick their tongue out…
I can't make these sounds without spitting: Ch, (the letter H), Sh. It's super hard to talk because I always spit when i make those noises and the only way to stop my lisp is to get a soar throat and start losing my voice! I usually don't talk to anybody but my family members. I don't have friends because of my lisp. 💔
I have a lisp and nothing winds me up more than people saying say and give you words with an s in 😳 it well and truly takes over your life if you struggle on the telephone.
I had a different lisp - honestly the weirdest I've heard of. I pronounced s and z through my nose. Best explanation of the sound is as a backwards snort. Or a nasal fricative. Really, just taught myself the proper sounds - sounded really forced for a couple years, but it slowly worked. Speak perfectly now (relatively!). The sound was fine, but it was hard to say when I had a cold, and I already have a problem with too much snorting which was worse then (warning you now, this is a little bit gross) because my accent would make me slowly push mucus out of my nose. Nothing came out, but there was pressure from behind that made me want to snort it back. Got made fun of for that more than for my weird s.
My mother tongue is Portuguese but I can't stop spiting on people when I try to pronunciate "th" like teeth, breath, seth, etc. To a native English speaker, it sound so natural....
I used to say my name Jason wrong but it sounded right to me. Thanks to some nice class mates from middle school I now say it right. Thank you Erryl and Alex :)
I have lisp and i’m in my teens it’s gotten better and i still can’t seem to get it better even if practise all the time. People even laugh at me especially when i avoid sentences with s or x or z in it. any tips?
i have a lisp and took speech all through school im 23 now i still have it but i got better with it now and even through i love read i used to have when i have to read out loud
When I use s in any word, I sounds like it fades through the first two letters like ssand. It would continue for the few letters before I say I normally, ;-; *why*
Ugh I am an 11 year old that can’t pronounce a “s” and I was never put in therapy. I have tried using videos that say they help but they never work. If anyone has anything that can help then please help me😪
I don't usually notice my lisp. Except words I really can't say. But if I think about it, i think it so much worse. Like singer, sing, sink, sinking. All sound like thinger, thing, think, thinking
Hi I'm 17 and I had a lisp/stutter my whole life I've avoided conversations with my friends, family, neighbor, teacher's and complete strangers and more. I live in a world inside my own head full of anxiety because I've been looked at and treated like I was uneducated and dumb and didn't know what I was talking about and since I'm almost and illegal adult I'm trying to fix it so I can have a job and not be scared to talk I normally don't talk about personal stuff especially on an open chat but can anyone relate?
When I was younger I honestly couldn't hear the difference between soft th and f sounds. Then all of a sudden they told me I was doing it wrong and put me in speech therapy, but never showed me how to pronounce the th right. I was so confused until I figured it out myself by watching the therapist's mouth.
Everyone who are asking how to make it better.. I have lisp and I will share something which helped me.. Get someone to tell you who speaks normally that how their tongue works and from what position to what position their tongue goes when they say certain words you are having problem saying. Then try to move your tongue the same way and say that word.. Practice saying it clearly while focusing on your tongue. It really helped me. Mine didn't got completely fine but everyone tells me that it's much better now and even I feel that.. And yes, I don't know if you guys know that or if it happens to you too but the words I have problem saying, whenever I said that I felt I'm saying it perfectly in my ears and mind so there is also a way to get rid of that. All you need to do is close your ear with your fingers and then try to speak those words and sentences including them and you will hear the way you sound while saying it much clearly and then practice the same thing I mentioned. I hope you guys can understand what I'm trying to say and I really hope it helps you guys. :)
i can’t forget when my prof asked me if i had a lisp after i had done a mock job interview with her and when i said yes she said “that’s why i couldn’t understand you” and i felt so embarrassed and made my self-confidence drop down lower than it was before
I had a terrible lisp, and it has gotten better when I got braces; still have a bit of a lisp, which I hope goes away by the time I get my braces off (just got them on 4 months ago)
I still have this problem at age 31 a year ago I was at a dentist and noticed her assistant laughing when I spoke..that's hurts me deep but I told her to her face is that nobody is perfect I may have this problem but at least I'm pretty guy who you dream to sleep with..she then blushed and never say a word
I used to have a lisp when I was younger-- cant pronounce words with "S" and "Z" correctly I felt like I wasnt normal cause people around me were pointing out how weird I pronounce things so I forced myself to pronounce "S" and "Z" the normal way,, got used to it and BAM no more lisp;;
I had a lisp as a child but I chose to practice since 6 years old on my "s" sounds. I was able to fix it a bit but now it's growing back. I don't mind it but around others I try to fix my speech of course.
I had almost constant ear infections as a child as well as a broken upper pallet from a car accident when I was about 3. I've never had a lisp, but I do have problems pronouncing syllables at times when I'm trying to talk quickly. I'll stutter for a few moments, but am usually able to stop speaking then start again without it continuing. I'd rather annoying, but I believe it has more to do with my hearing loss than the other problems listed.
***** The problem with that noise is they don't usually check different tones. In my right ear, I know I've lost at least half my lower range hearing but I can pick out the electronic sequel from a c.r.t. television from over 200 feet in that ear. In my left, I can hear relatively well, but I have tinnitus in that ear and can't hear high frequency sounds. When I get checked, the tone they use is just high enough to be clear in my right ear, but not high enough to be lost in my left.
