I think your student doesn't understand how central to language these areas are. Someone with damage to Broca's area would not be making up their own language, because they haven't just lost their original language, they've lost the processing areas necessary for any language. Similarly, if someone has Wenicke's damage they're not going to learn a new language, unless we're talking about damage occurring quite early in life, in which case the contralateral hemisphere might do the job.
