Brain injury causes foreign accent in woman

I would have no complaints... unless I got stuck with an Asian or African accent. Then people would think i was racist

I noticed it too. My grandfather spoke in a German accent in his old age. He didn't have one when his daughter was young. He grew up in a German-speaking household as a child and didn't learn English until he went to school.

Majority of people are not aware of these conditions and how neurological, audiological issues can affect how one's speak. As a speech therapist and also as someone who went through this, I am astounded that majority of people lack sensitivity and often mock or seek to be aggressive to people with these conditions. I used to have problems with people as people thought I was being pretentious or mocking them.

I’ve been a foreign language teacher my whole adult life, and I have a PhD in applied linguistics. Apraxia absolutely does not explain how her brain acquired a specific foreign accent. It is an inexplicable anomaly. I believe we have to go beyond brain states to explain this phenomenon.

[@Rooxie973]

It could happen. I find it very unlikely as she said 'me' instead of 'my' which is ridiculous. She's purposely sounding Irish

[@DeborahChapman-u4r]

Just a bit of history Jamaican and Irish accents are actually very similar because many Irish people settled in Jamaica. They say as much as 25% of Jamaican people claim Irish ancestry, so the accents are very very very similar.

Right, not some specific accent...the lady with the 'french' accent is totally off...that would be a clue to how this is working. These people must be replaying the sound of the accent that they heard somewhere...(I'm obviously a total amateur guessing here).

my guess is that it effects speech mechanics which just happen to be similar to foreign accents, generally speaking there's alot of cases of people with speech impediments of varying degrees so it makes sense some will just happen to sound like it
