Australian Man Wakes From Coma Speaking A Different Language!
[link to www.people.com]

"For the first few days after waking up, McMahon could only speak and write Mandarin. It took several days for him to regain his comprehension of English. Even after McMahon started speaking English again, his new knowledge of Mandarin remained."

Fascinating!

In the article it says he studied mandarin in high school, so he did have some background in it, it just improved greatly after the coma.

I once heard of a guy with a supposed similar brain injury who woke up speaking fluent Swedish only.

Difference there was he had never taken Swedish in high school before and was not acquainted with the language before.

Do not know if he relearned to speak English.

Don't you hate it when you're a sleeper cell and then you get brain damage?

I don't know what lies they told you, but I can promise they were lies.

There's a fine line between training, trauma, and torture.
