The vast majority of the UK speak English. I find it fine provided there is subtitles.

There was one time when Imogen was speaking to Glyn about her up-coming eviction and she said: " Wi am aros" - meaning I want to stay. But the subtitles were wrong and said : I will stay. They're not alway accurate.


off the point but i'm running out of things to say. lol

I don't think it is completely fair allowing housemates to use another language because part of Big Brother is about watching, and getting to know, them on the unedited live coverage, and they can't put subtitles up for that.

I'm spanish, but in Spain other regional languages are spoken (Catalan, Galician and Basque), nevertheless, in “Gran Hermano” (Big Brother) housemates only must speak in Spanish because all the Spanish people don't understand those languages.

Please can you keep the general chatter in the Big Brother 8 part of the forum to a minimum. There were 108 posts in this thread and 67 of them were general chat.

This isn't the area of the board for general chat.

There are areas of the forum like "Idle Banter - Talk About Anything Here" where you can chat to your hearts content. Please use these threads in future.

Thanks for your help in keeping subjects on topic.

The only language I'd understand that isnt English, would be Irish, considering I'm an Irish man myself, even at that, my words would be limited. As long as they dont speak it 24/7, I don't mind and as long as there is Subtitles of course

Hell yea!
Hearing Glyn and Imogen speek welsh in the house was brilliant for me! I always went really hyper when they would speek welsh.
It was also really wierd becuase they were speeking a language on English TV that I speek in everyday life.
There was a huge controvocy here when we heared that BB tried to ban them from speeking welsh in the house, becuase they felt like they were speeking in code. It was quite disrespectful, becuase welsh is the oldest language in Europe and I think it's important that we save it and kieep it going.
Glyn and Imogen got people more aware of the language and I loved that!

(also they helped me with my welsh exam, becuase I was talking non stop about them in the house!)

Totally agree with you. i went so hyper when they spoke welsh that one time i was jumping listening to it. They definately did a good job in creating awareness of welsh.

Though Glyn's accent was a bit hard to understand sometimes.

I think its great if more than 1 person speak the same language and it means they can talk to each other without orter housemates knowing.
