Does your stutter get better when switching to other languages? I know it sounds weird, and I'm probably not "an official stutter" but hear me out. I never, in my entire life had any stutter issues (am 22) but suddenly like 3 years ago I started stuttering, it's not super frequent, but it happens to me everyday and not necessarily when I'm nervous, it seems to be random. After these past 3 years I have experienced that switching to English is very helpful (am Spanish), and I *never* stutter in this language. I always find the right words (which I never do in my native language, like ever), and have no problem with it. Has anyone else experienced this?
