Living with foreign accent syndrome

In 2006 Kath Lockett lost the ability to speak after being struck down with rare brain condition. But when her voice recovered, she found she started speaking with a distinctive European accent which has been described as Italian, French and even Japanese.

The rare condition is known as Foreign Accent Syndrome, and Kath is here to tell us how her life has changed dramatically.
