Reuben was playing for a youth football team in Georgia when the unfortunate accident happened. A player from the other team accidentally kicked Reuben in the head. The injury was serious and Reuben went into shock.
His friends and family took him to the hospital to make sure he was okay. He fell into a deep coma. After several days, Reuben woke up. But something very surprising happened. He said, 'I’m hungr/ in Spanish.
Reuben's mom told the nurse, "We speak English. Why is he speaking Spanish?" It was like a puzzle. Reuben could only speak a little Spanish before, but now it was his main language.
Reuben thinks he probably picked up the language from his brother who studied abroad in Spain and some of his teammates who are fluent Spanish speakers.
Reuben described speaking Spanish as strange but enjoyable. After a few days, Reuben's English came back, but he can still speak some Spanish.
Soon Reuben's story became one of the most popular stories on the Internet. It turns out that Reuben is not the only person to have ever woken up with a mysterious language condition. There's a condition called "foreign accent syndrome," where people start talking in a different accent usually after some head trauma.
The first case of this happened in 1941 when a Norwegian woman, who was injured during a bombing, suddenly began speaking in a German accent.
