I'm another enthusiastic supporter of the Toastmaster's program. I have
seen it help stutterers, shy individuals (including myself), people with
poor grammatical skills, etc. It builds confidence, uses a structured
program to teach presentation skills, and is generally a warm, friendly
learning environment.
