Yes, this is absolutely a thing. My mother tongue is English, and I stutter way more in both Spanish and Chinese. I think it's a combo of both increased anxiety/tension and not being able to engage in compensatory behavior (substituting words, approaching words more slowly, adding in extra breaths, etc.) because we're distracted trying to convert our words to another language.
