Do any multilingual people here seem to stutter more when speaking in one language more than the others? I'm bilingual, English and Spanish, with Spanish being my first language I learned but English being my more fluent one, and I've always had more trouble speaking in Spanish than I do English. I don't think my family really understand what it means to have a stutter, or if anybody in my family ever even had a stutter, but they've always made me feel insecure about my culture because I can't speak Spanish fluently. I've gotten over it but I just wanted to know if anybody else seems to stutter more in a certain language.
