Video of a man with Broca's Aphasia

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2IiMEbMnPM

In the video, the man stuggles to speak coherently and communicate his feelings, although he can understand what the man asking him questions is saying. I felt pretty bad for the man when I watched it. He reminds me of my little sister, who had a speech impediment when she was little. She always got so frustrated when she couldn't say something right and respond when she fully understood what was being said to her, but she improved with speech therapy. Therapy can also assist those with aphasia, although they can never be fully cured of it.
