CindyLou Romberg of Port Angeles, Wash., has always lived in the U.S., and the only other country she's visited is Canada. More than 25 years after she suffered a head injury, she began speaking with accents that sound German, French, Russian -- and sometimes Swedish and Hebrew. Her diagnosis: a rare condition called Foreign Accent Syndrome.
Can you believe this? I can, but its hard to wrap your mind around it. I personally hate when people try to speak with different accents, but this lady cant even help it. I deffinately don't have anything against this case, so don't take it the wrong way. This lady has probably been through so much, especially with her head injury. I'm proud of how strong she was, but think about it.
You know when you loose your voice.. and you have that scratchy voice that you don't recognize? That is probably how this lady lives on a daily basis. She must have been freaking out when it first started, considering it was 25 years AFTER the injury. I'm curious as to how often her accents change and for how long they occur for.
I don't really have much else to say about this story, I just thought it was pretty interesting : )
Well, thats all for tonight.
Until next time,
Skylar : )
