I was able to speak Japanese without stuttering when I started learning it, I can do the same with the very limited Chinese I have now. As soon as I got fluent in Japanese, I stutter the same in that ...

I agree with the OP that many stutterers are smarter than average. From a young age, the constant mental gymnastics and vocabulary it takes to minimize stuttering is a cognitive exercise. All day ever...
