    The A is slightly more emphasized in the second that. It’s subtle

            Because you generally put more emphasis on the subject in English

              I’ll try and pay attention next time I have to say that that or if someone else says it. I think reading it and over thinking it makes it sound weird

              I think it depends on if you want to emphasize something specifically or not. Second ‘that’ is the default it seems, but I first expected ‘was’ to be emphasized in this sentence
