4:49Now PlayingYou have to hear it to believe it. Foreign accent syndrome is an extremely rare neurological condition with only 112 cases reported worldwide — and many more skeptics online. The strange and sudden speech change tends to follow a stroke, heart attack, or brain injury, baffling both scientists and patients alike. In this episode of "Weird But True," join host Andrew Court as he dives into some of the stranger stories, including a young Australian woman who developed an Irish brogue and a British grandmother who started speaking in a stereotypical Italian accent.
