A Black High School Football Star Comes Out From Severe Coma Speaking Fluent Spanish

This may seem like a miracle but it’s something science perfectly understands–and the case of Rueben Nsemoh is not the first to be recorded.
According to a report by WSBTV, a Georgia soccer player-Rueben Nsemoh woke up from a severe coma that nearly killed him to the shock of everyone including himself, speaking fluent Spanish.
Nsemoh, a student of Brookwood High School was kicked in the head during a football game when he dived for the ball, resulting in a coma for three weeks.
His parents say when Rueben woke up, he spoke only in Spanish at first, a language he’d never spoken fluently before.
“Sometimes I daze out. Sometimes I feel like I’m not there, but I am,” Rueben Nsemoh said.
What Rueben suffers is called Foreign accent syndrome.
And the CNN says;

Foreign accent syndrome is an extremely rare condition in which brain injuries change a person’s speech patterns, giving them a different accent. The first known case was reported in 1941, when a Norwegian woman suffered shrapnel injuries to the brain during a German bombing run — and started speaking with a German accent.
Since then there have been a few dozen reported cases.
Three years ago, police found a Navy vet unconscious in a Southern California motel. When he woke up, he had no memory of his previous life, and spoke only Swedish.
In Australia, a former bus driver got in a serious car crash that left her with a broken back and jaw. When she woke up, she was left with something completely unexpected: a French accent.
And earlier this year, a Texas woman who had surgery on her jaw, has sported a British accent ever since.
“It’s an impairment of motor control,” Dr. Karen Croot, one of the few experts in foreign accent syndrome, told CNN a few years ago. “Speech is one of the most complicated things we do, and there are a lot of brain centers involved in coordinating a lot of moving parts. If one or more of them are damaged, that can affect the timing, melody and tension of their speech.”
