hey!
patients with wernicke's alphasia still have speech that is fluent, however the things that they say doesn't make sense, most commonly, it is meaningless. Usually, they'll make substitute sounds and their combination of the words are nonsensical.

also in my textbook it states that there is difficulty in understanding and producing both written and spoken language but that their pronunciation is not impaired

hope this helps!
