English is my first language and I stutter way more in English than Spanish. If I stutter in Spanish, it's with similar "hard sounds" as English, like "tr," "p," "b" sounds or similar, but it's waaay way less frequent. Just earlier, I was trying to say "triste" (sad in English) but was trying to say it in the middle of an English sentence when talking specifically about that word (because I was seeing if I'd stutter on it) and started getting stuck on the "tr" sound but as soon as I said the exact same sentence in Spanish, no stutter. No matter what I said, how many times I said "triste," when I was speaking Spanish, no stutter. Then I tried to do it again in English, and I stutter every time lol it's so strange. If I pronounced the word like an English speaker while speaking English, I wouldn't stutter, but as soon as I tried to pronounce it correctly while speaking English, didn't work lol weird how that happens I'm trying to pickup German since my roommate speaks it and it'd be easy for an English speaker to learn it, hopefully it's like Spanish where I don't stutter nearly as much.
