Due to the incident, Rueben suffered from a concussion and was then brought to the hospital.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Doctors and Rueben’s family were all baffled when he started speaking Spanish in full sentences after he woke up from a three-day coma. According to them, he only knew a few words pre-coma.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">“It started flowing out,” he told Time in an interview. </div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">“I felt like it was second nature for me. I wasn’t speaking my English right, and every time I tried to speak it I would have a seizure.”</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Rueben was treated in the <b>Intensive Care Unit </b>for days before he started stirring little by little. He was gesturing for food when he all of a sudden said “<b>Tengo</b> <b>hambre</b>” which meant “I am hungry.”</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">“I was very shocked. That’s something he’s never done before. When he got up and he started speaking Spanish, I was confused,” Nsemoh, his mother, said.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">In shock, she ran out of the room and looked for help. </div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">“A nurse asked me what language does he speak. I said ‘I speak English. He speaks English. We’re not Spanish-based people.”</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite a consultation with a neurologist, doctors cannot explain how he could have woken up from the coma speaking a different language. </div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">However, there have been previous incidents have also happened wherein other patients acquired a new language or a different accent after experiencing a major trauma. It is diagnosed as foreign accent syndrome, according to CNN. </div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have also shared how concussions and severe brain injuries can alter a person’s language function.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Weeks after the incident, Rueben recovered his ability to speak his first language English. He now knows two languages and is able to speak both fluently. However he also admitted that the Spanish is slowly beginning to fade.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Doctors are positive that he will fully heal based on his current brain scans. Rueben’s bills have climbed up to a total of $ 250,000. Fortunately, a GoFundMe page for the teen was able to collect $ 11,000 to go towards the estimated range of cost.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><p> <br/></p><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="tube" frame height="315" id="player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nttfgZKK2r4?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></center><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">Source: <a href="http://viralvidyos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">TNP </a>, <a href="http://time.com/4542967/teen-coma-fluent-spanish-georgia/?xid=time_socialflow_facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Time</a></span></div>
