    What an exceptionally spirited and determined young man. I had a stroke at 43 and am currently 6 months into my recovery, trying to take inspiration from great people like Jan.

    I had a stroke about 5 years ago at the age of 32 and suffered/suffer from Broca’s Aphasia. Just so you know, my speech continues to get better even today. I sounded EXACTLY like you. For my work I have to speak publically and nobody can tell I ever had an issue. Keep up the good work. Your great attitude will get you a long way toward your recovery. God Bless you.

      Hi J. How are you doing after you stroke?Is your language any better now? I am a speech and language therapist and PhD student, at City, University of London. My research looks how aphasia affects well-being in young people. If you are between 18-40 years old, have English as your first language, and you are in England, you can take part. I can send you more information, if you want. Please, let me know. Many Thanks, Vasiliki Kladouchou

      Hi Mohamed. Speech and language therapy works with people with aphasia. However. it needs a lot of practice and determination for people to get better. As, each person with aphasia is different though, there is no universal therapy. The speech and language therapist needs to work close with the person with aphasia, and to agree together areas for improvement. It takes time, but language can get better. There is plenty of research approving that as well. Vasiliki Kladouchou, Speech and Language Therapist

    I am so proud of people like you. I'm just a 19-year-old, but I've recently started Psychology at a university and we've read and seen a lot about people dealing with stroke/aphasia. To me it seems like the hardest thing, seems like being trapped in your own mind. You know what to say, you just have a hard time expressing it. I find people with aphasia very courageous for not giving up and making the best of life. I admire your spirit and I wish you the very best.

    I'm sure at times it so hard. I had a stroke this year, March 2015 and its been worrisome as folks tell me all your significant recovery is in 6 months but Jan keeps going for years. I don't have as bad a voice impairment as Jan, my left side (and some voice) is damaged. Hope to make improvements in motion as long as possible. You're quite an inspiration!

    I feel so blessed - I had a stroke and a brain tumour was discovered. I did have some balance issues at first and months of being nauseous but do not have much trouble now. I have been left with the rear condition of 'Alexia without Agraphia' which means I cannot read but I can write. I wrote a book titled 'Thank God I Had a Stroke' to inspire others, but your video is such an inspiration, I am humbled. Thank you.

    My wife had a stroke three months ago. She lost all her speech. She can understand everything. Since her stroke she gets daily speech therapy. This has helped her to improve but she is plateauing it appears.. She can only repeat words or some sentences but she cannot recall anything or create her own sentence. I’m still concerned it will not come back. She is 43. Does anybody else have had a similar experience and regained speech?

      Hi Sagar. I am a speech and language therapist and PhD student, at City, University of London. Language is controlled by the left side of the brain. Thus, usually people with aphasia have left-side stroke. Does your wife have aphasia as well? The key for aphasia is to practise as much as you can! It is difficult, but there is improvement, especially for younger people who have still good neuroplasticity. I am currently doing my doctoral research. It looks how aphasia affects well-being in young people. If your wife has English as her first language,and lives in England, she can take part! I am happy to send you more information, if she is interested. Please, let me know. Many Thanks, Vasiliki Kladouchou

      Find someone who specializes in stroke and aphasia and make sure your girlfriend likes them and gets along. Also you really need to rope in friends and family as speech assistants. The speech therapist sets up the exercises etc but it is all about endless practice. It also makes your money go further if you’re based somewhere that requires you to pay.

      She is due out of rehabilitation in a month or so but they don’t practice speech as the NHS in England is stretched and they only have a certain amount of time for it each week, it’s terrible.

      +Dessy Mari words like "entrepreneurial" will be very hard to comrehend for such case. Normally people encountering with such hard words articulate them on subthreshold level - it can be registered with electromyography. We hear something complicated, articulate it (deep inside) and only then get a sense of a word. Such aphasia damages articulation itself and comprehension respectively
