Maybe the next series will be set in Spain with British ex-pats called "Why don't you speak Spanish?"
Interesting idea for a program but I can't see how putting these people who speak to them as if they were 2 year olds is going to teach them English.
Not surprising that the guy from Colombia cannot understand the Northern Irish landlord.
Really?? :rolleyes:
Its just an accent from Northern Ireland.
Not liking this Agniezska. She seems very arrogant, argumentative, lazy and is unwilling to co-operate with her host.
Can't watch it, I'll just get annoyed...enjoy
I'm not sure if it's the English or the immigrants who are coming off looking worse.
The ones I work with in care usually do...
Why is it when British people go to live abroad they always call themselves ex-pats? Why are they not immigrants?
Because we don't tend to go for the same reasons people come here.
We tend to emigrate for the sun or for a change, not to flee war etc
