Broca’s aphasia is a nonfluent and expressive aphasia where the person knows what they want to say and can understand others. But, speech takes great effort to say words or string together sentences. Short phrases of 1 to 4 words are often used, such as “want food” or “walk dog.” People with Broca’s aphasia usually have trouble finding the words they want to use and may have a limited vocabulary. In addition, they are often aware of their difficulties and can become easily frustrated.
