Default Do you reckon Nancy can actually speak 5 languages?

Or do you think she’s full of s***?

There’s quite a lot of horsesh1te in the house so it’s conceivable .. that said it’s a dangerous game as Big Brother or one of the other housemates could test her or try to catch her out at any time sooooooo

Absolute shite, that conversation with Tate proved she's definitely at least exaggerating her abilities. She probably speaks a bit of Italian and knows some phrases in other languages. I would like to rewatch that whole thing with Tate actually because I'd swear she said she spoke Polish but she clearly had no clue what Tate was saying when he started speaking Polish to her

Maybe the other housemates have picked up on that interaction and may use it as a reason for nomination her for ‘maybe’ being dishonest !?

…I don’t know what her fluency is in each language but doesn’t she have a Polish parent …I would say that she would know some Polish if it was spoken in the family home and with relatives etc…she probably knows five languages if that’s what she claims but has she said that she’s fluent or just has some understanding/speaking of…

yes, there are varying degrees of speaking the language. Also, there are dialects within countries which make it difficult to understand even if you are familiar with the language. The other thing is that language is constantly evolving and if you are not living it, you are toast

…yeah, I’m not sure whether it was said that she could speak 5 languages fluently but she was obviously brought up in Italy so should speak that fluently and I imagine will speak/understand some Polish if one of her parents is Polish…but obviously that’s also dependent on how much Polish was spoken in the home and whether it was taught by parents…?…languages are taught differently in general in European schools and I would say that she was possibly taught maybe two other languages as well as English through her schooling…and she may have expanded any of those beyond schooling…

…ahh, I just found the clip when Nancy told Elsa and Teja which languages she could speak…French and Spanish were the other two along with her English, Italian and Polish…(…I was actually looking for the clip with her not understanding Tate speaking Polish because I missed that…)….

I mean I can technically speak five languages if we're talking very basic phrases but I would never boast about my language abilities. I really hope BB makes her speak them all for a task

it was last nights show i think. Something was said in polish and she smiled, i think she understood what was said but she didnt respond in polish. Also, sometimes people understand a foreign language that is spoken but can't get the words out quickly to respond

To be fair we only see about 24 minutes footage out of every 24 hours in the house so we have no idea at all what was said immediately after the tiny segment we were shown ..

The two could have had an extensive conversation in Polish with all the others laughing their heads off .. we just don’t know


Also can’t say that anyone has mentioned or even referred to Nancy being multilingual ( or not) … not even in the live stream programs

…tbf and accurate, he corrected himself and did say that he personally didn’t have any problems at all in understanding her…but that he felt that others might or would because of how quickly she spoke…

…I don’t have any problems in understanding her either as my dad was from Northern Ireland and spoke very quickly…/…as do many of my relatives…
