A few years ago I worked with a young man who spoke Mandarin (primarily at home with his family) and English. He shared that he experienced much more tension when speaking Mandarin and experienced more severe stuttering in that language. It is good that Tricia and her student are conducting this research. We need a lot more information about how stuttering behaviors differ across languages.
