Learning another language (Arabic) has helped me stutter less

Learning another language (Arabic) has helped me stutter less I (27m) am most fluent in English as that’s the language I use the most. I usually have a mild stutter when speaking English however have developed a lot of masking techniques. I also knew Bengali from birth as that’s where my parents are from. I stutter way more in Bengali as I haven’t developed proper masking techniques. For the past 7 years, I’ve been learning the Arabic language, mainly for religious purposes as a Muslim. Over the past year or so I’ve taken Arabic a lot more seriously. I was living in Egypt for four months learning Arabic everyday and since coming back to my home country, am now doing an advanced Arabic course. Initially I would stutter so much in Arabic. However, since being more confident in Arabic from when I was living in Egypt coupled with the effort I’m putting in to learn it, I stutter a lot less in Arabic. It also translates to my other languages, especially English. I’m sure it has something to do with the extra effort I’m putting into Arabic. I feel a lot more confident and comfortable to talk, whether in English, Bengali or Arabic. I have a greater appreciation for language and I’m really grateful for this journey and have sights on picking up another language in the future Just sharing this here as a positive story and maybe inspire some of you guys to take up a language
