Writing certain letters? Anyone else get stuck on certain letters almost like a verbal stutter but while writing? Growing up bilingual I had strong stutter that was more prevalent in one language than the other. For years I noticed writing the letter S gives me difficulties in any language. I can now pronounce the S sound with no challenges… while other sounds are still troubling (for example, th- sound).
