Before his coma he spoke English; after waking up he's fluent in Spanish

teen wakes from coma speaking spanish pkg_00000319 

life's been full of uncertainties for Reuben Nsemoh lately.

Ever since he suffered a concussion in a soccer game, the suburban Atlanta teen's worried about why it's so hard for him to concentrate. He's fretted over whether he'll ever get to play his favorite sport.

But the biggest stumper of all: how is it that he's suddenly speaking fluent Spanish?

Nsemoh, a 16-year-old high school sophomore, ended up in the coma last month after another player kicked him in the head during a game.

When he woke up, he did something he'd never done before: speak Spanish like a native.

His parents said he could already speak some Spanish, but he was never fluent in it until his concussion.

Slowly, his English is coming back, and he's starting to lose his Spanish fluency.
