Can I be a successful public speaker with below average English knowledge and stammering? The answer to your question lays in your willingness to make changes in your life and increasing your communication skills level. Currently, by your own admission, if your audience had an even less knowledge of the English language than you, you might shine as a successful public speaker, but I doubt it. You say you have below average English knowledge, yet your question appears to be grammatically correct. That isn’t always the case here on Quora. So, good on you for that! Public speaking, like any other skill, requires practice and constructive feedback to increase your skills. If you are over the age of 18, I would strongly suggest seeing if there is a local Toastmasters club to join. At a club, you will have lots of opportunity to develop your public speaking skills and at the same time, increase your knowledge of English. Toastmasters won’t address your stammering specifically. It isn’t part of the program. However, many people that have a stammering challenge have had it significantly reduced by participating in the program. In many cases, stammering can be reduced by an increase in self- confidence. Thanks for your question! As originally answered on Quora.com Rae A.

Can I be a successful public speaker with below average English knowledge and stammering?

The answer to your question lays in your willingness to make changes in your life and increasing your communication skills level.

Currently, by your own admission, if your audience had an even less knowledge of the English language than you, you might shine as a successful public speaker, but I doubt it.

You say you have below average English knowledge, yet your question appears to be grammatically correct. That isn’t always the case here on Quora. So, good on you for that!

Public speaking, like any other skill, requires practice and constructive feedback to increase your skills.

If you are over the age of 18, I would strongly suggest seeing if there is a local Toastmasters club to join.

At a club, you will have lots of opportunity to develop your public speaking skills and at the same time, increase your knowledge of English.

Toastmasters won’t address your stammering specifically. It isn’t part of the program. However, many people that have a stammering challenge have had it significantly reduced by participating in the program.

In many cases, stammering can be reduced by an increase in self-confidence.

Thanks for your question!

Rae A. Stonehouse (1954- ) is a Canadian born author & speaker. His professional career as a Registered Nurse working predominantly in psychiatry/mental health, has spanned four decades.

Rae has embraced the principal of CANI (Constant and Never-ending Improvement) as promoted by thought leaders such as Tony Robbins and brings that philosophy to each of his publications and presentations. Rae has dedicated the latter segment of his journey through life to overcoming his personal inhibitions.

As a 20+ year member of Toastmasters International he has systematically built his self-confidence and communicating ability. He is passionate about sharing his lessons with his readers and listeners.

His publications thus far are of the self-help, self-improvement genre and systematically offer valuable sage advice on a specific topic. His writing style can be described as being conversational.

As an author Rae strives to have a one-to-one conversation with each of his readers, very much like having your own personal self-development coach. Rae is known for having a wry sense of humour that features in his publications.
