Hi. I think my sister has some sort of a speech problem. She has problems with understanding language utterances spoken by others. This includes her own garbled speech, but she can`t understand that her speech is disturbed. Her writing is also confused. What is going on?

Hi. A friend of mine has the same problem. He suffers from Wernicke`s aphasia. Aphasia is an impairment of language comprehension. Wernicke`s aphasia is characterized with severely disorganized language output. Sometimes it sounds like incomprehensible babble. Wernick`s aphasia is also characterized with severe disturbance of comprehension. Also, persons with Wernick`s aphasia have difficulties with naming object presented to them. Writing is also a problem. It includes nonsense word and semantic substitution.
