Hear this fam!
Stephen Chase, a Utah resident, claims that he wakes up speaking fluent Spanish for about an hour after each surgery, despite having only a limited knowledge of the language. Although he had learned basic Spanish in school and tried to improve his knowledge, the sudden condition has left him speaking at a level close to that of a native speaker.
The bizarre phenomenon has been linked to what is called *foreign language syndrome* — a rare condition that can be caused by brain injury, psychological stress, or after waking up from surgical sleep.
