Yes, sometimes even before I start my sentence I know which words will be giving me trouble. You can try the resetting technique, which a voluntary pause and exhale just before the word or syllable you feel will give you trouble. It'll create a weird downtime in some of your sentences, but that's usually better than fighting a hard block. It's not magic though, it requires training and perseverance.
