No, actually, I do not enjoy it that much. It sucks. Of course, compared to so much, it's not that bad, but my capacity to stutter has been a factor all of my life. I am afflicted by all you mentioned and the one sound restriction which proves the culmination of this issue is the Alveolar Trill. Argh! :)
Anyway, that's my story and thanks for the video. I'm a 5%er!
I am toungue tied and I have no speech problems, and I speak Polish, and apparently rolling the 'R's is the hardest when someone is toungue tied. Pffft, I beg to differ. I've never had speech pathology either. :)
@elzbietalalala i have the same story... i am dating a polish guy therefore am learning polish, rolling Rs as a kid was always hard and i never knew why, eventually i just adjusted my tounge in a way that works for me :D
I have this, had speech difficulties as a young child so had speech therapy. I speak 'normally' now though I can't roll R's or do that tongue trilling thing (obviously) and I use other techniques to enunciate things clearly, often requiring effort at times. My tone is nasal as a result and combined with my 'well-spoken' manner I must sound annoying to some. The social issues are too upsetting to think about. I'm scared about surgery because of the pain and chance of botching it.
@Somalivlogger Im partly tongue tied (i didnt even no until my friends noticed i couldn't stick my tongue far out at all!) and it depends on how tongue tied you are for me it is no problem at all ;)
@Somalivlogger if ur partner has the same problem then yes it is hard to kiss.. but most people have regular tongues so it doesnt affect ur kissing life as much! :p
When people say "it is hard to breastfeed" there is a simple solution, don't breastfeed. And "the child will have speech problems" is bull, i've had my tongue tied, I speak French, English and Japanese perfectly fine, I eat ice cream normally. I suffer from what would be considered 'severe' but I speak just fine. There is NOTHING wrong with ankyloglossia, If the child has speech problem I believe its a mental disability, I can pronounce every letter just fine. And I NEVER had speech therapy.
@Chiyamaka I think that is probably up to the parents/patient (if old enough) to decide. While you may not feel that there is anything wrong with it, most people find it very uncomfortable and painful. Not to mention the teasing that children will get when they are young. People are cruel and you know as well as I do that when people talk "funny", they get mocked. My boyfriend had/has this and he had his cut. His tongue is still "shorter" than most, but at least he can talk and eat normally now.
@Maboob86 Nobody ever made fun of me, and I spoke fine. If you've lived with a tongue tie for most of your life, you dont really find it painful or uncomfortable, because that is all that you have known.
@Chiyamaka You are lucky that you were able to speak fine, therefore not get teased. You are also lucky that you didn't find it painful or uncomfortable. However, you can only speak for yourself. Perhaps you missed the part where to told you about my boyfriend? His WAS painful and/or uncomfortable. He DID get made fun of because he DID talk "funny". Everyone is different.
@Chiyamaka As an added note - not breastfeeding is NOT a "simple" solution. You obviously haven't got the first clue about the health benefits of breastfeeding vs. not breastfeeding. Also, how do you figure a baby will eat if they don't breastfeed? The alternative is a bottle... which has a "nipple" to resemble natural breastfeeding. Do you have a solution to THAT? Honestly, I'm not trying to start any argument here, but I find your post to be a little ignorant.
@Maboob86 I understand the benefits, however, some people prefer formula feeding babies rather than breastfeeding. Breastfeeding vs formula feeding is still a raging argument, so I won't even bother arguing about it.
@Chiyamaka My point wasn't to argue benefits of breastfeeding vs. formula feeding. As I stated, I actually wasn't trying to argue anything. My point was to ask you how one would feed a baby formula if they couldn't feed from a nipple? A bottle's nipple is designed to mimic a mother's nipple. It was a legitimate question, and you didn't even answer it! I appreciate you commenting back, but honestly - did you even read my posts?
I did this presentation because my son was tongue-tied at birth. We just had his tongue clipped today (he's nine months old now) and he seemed to be just fine afterward!
In 2004 when I was 38 years old, my tongue-tie got cut through. I can stick out my tongue way farther, and I can pronounce the thrilled r better. I am not English, but I use the thrilled r in sung Dutch, sung German and in spoken and sung several other languages.
It is a painful operation which makes speaking more difficult in the first few hours and eating painfull in the first few days. I certainly do not regret having it cut.
@HANSMKAMP i am 14 years old and i have a tonque tie.I have no problems with the it so like honeyfluge said i can eat ice cream , i can do all other normal things, but i cant stick my tonque out of my mouth too much,.Untill my 8 th year i couldn't say R and at the moment i cant say L. Now i can say R but i cant do a thrilled one. If i stick it too much i mean till the lips i feel a pain. I am scared of the question: -Can i do a french or all other normal tonque kiss.?
i have ankyloglossia. my parents were offered to have it removed as a child but refused it. i have no problems with speech now as an adult, or ever. it's not serious, and i would say removing the frenulum should be the child's choice. i can't stick my tongue out of my mouth, but i can do many normal things, eating an ice cream, kissing, and catching a snowflake. my daughter does not have a tongue tie but if she had i would not have removed it. i live a full life with a tongue tie.
I'm 26, BTW...
