And very good for "socially inhibited" stutterers... ;-) I currently do 2 courses a week, one at Full Monty on Tuesday nights, one in Pulp on Thursday nights... If you're interested trying it out yourself, I know there is a beginner's course which just started last week in Merl in the "Cafe de l'arret" on Wednesday nights, so if you're interested I can give you the contact details... :-)Einarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170798309540074456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-1138872995736718352006-02-02T10:36:00.000+01:002006-02-02T10:36:00.000+01:00Salsa...

But then, with no reason, I enter "bad days". In those bad days it is more difficult for me to do automatic task, I fell kind of dumb. I notice that it is difficult for me to write properly in the computer, I make much more mistakes, change the order of letters, kind of dislexia... In those days I also speak much worse and it is imposible for me to apply any speaking technique. Then, one week later or so, with no reason, the "cloud" goes and come again the good days. It is as you said: "a mist in the city", something like that.<BR/><BR/>Regards.<BR/>Pablo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-1138853752645186782006-02-02T05:15:00.000+01:002006-02-02T05:15:00.000+01:00Hm, interesting study indead.

Wouldn't the consequent conclusion be that all stutterers are slower motoric learners (as they perform bad in single and dual task conditions)?. A statement I have trouble believing as such. Concerning your karate kata example: I've done karate too and enjoyed learning katas, for myself I didn't notice any learning deficiency in that sense compared to my training partners. Same with my current hobby which is Salsa dancing, I don't notice any "handicap" there when memorizing twists and turns...Einarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170798309540074456noreply@blogger.com
