Has there been any work down into dissecting the stuttering phenomenon into broad categories? E.g. repetitions vs hard-blocks. Hearing other stutterers speak is always interesting, because it highligh...

I lived in Ecuador for 2 years where I learned Spanish. I stutter much worse in Spanish than I do in English....

Because as far as we know stuttering is a thought/vocal production timing issue. Its really hard to effect one without the other in a consistent way. Lets say your stuttering is made worse by anxiet...

Same! I speak Arabic and English. I find that I stutter alot less in English....

My first language is English and throughout school could read French and German off page, but English written not a chance I could do it verbatim...

I'm a native English speaker and can speak conversationally in Spanish. I have a mild stutter in English, and I stutter and block much more in Spanish, probably because I'm more conscious of myself sp...

I actually stutter more with my native language Spanish, I stutter a lot less in English because that’s what I’ve been working my stutter on, but even before I still stuttered a lot more in Spanish....

This happens to me to when I speak Japanese (my native is English) When speaking English, I find that I stutter more saying names, titles, etc, because there is more pressure to say the word exactly ...

I'd say it was about the same in terms of podcast and non-podcast. I think it helped in this situation because I've known the host for 4 years and we talk multiple times a week about work stuff....

Yeah, it sucks, I have to always tell people I'm not really good with english even though I could speak it fluently if not for this...

Speaking French to other French speakers is easier for me. It’s only when I’m speaking to people who don’t naturally speak the language where it’s difficult for me since conversation doesn’t seem to f...

Same for me too. I am almost always fluent in my native tongue but when it comes to english I have problems...

No, that happens to me too! It's different for each person; I've heard stories of people being totally fluent in second languages, but not me. My first language is English and I stutter more in German...

Happens to me as well, it's really annoying. My English is pretty good in my head, as soon as I start speaking I'm a wreck...

Happens to me as well! I can kind of control my stutter while speaking German but when I have to talk in English - for example during class or an exam - I stutter at almost every second word. Sucks a...

I guess that depends on the language we use. In Chinese each character produce exactly one syllable, maybe this helps me control the speed of my speech 🤔....

I think it's the same with me! We have a lot of difficult sounds and letter combinations in Latvian (not as difficult as Arabic tho! Tried to lear it once but gave up after 3 days haha) English is mor...

Same here! my theory (not backed but facts or evidence) is that I stutter on certain sounds more than other and in the beginning of a word more than in the middle or end. In that aspect, my native lan...
