I haeard the following idea from Clive Lawton. I do not know what his
sources were.

He suggested that Moshe's problem with speech was specifically with
regard to the Bnei Yisroel and not Pharoah. Since Moshe had been
brought up at court he had no problem communicating with the
Egyptians. He spoke their language and was unique in his ability to
speak with Pharoah. On the other hand he had been brought up apart
from the Bnei Yisroel and was worried about relating to them.
