Che odio. mo parlano lingue diverse solo quando parlano fra di loro. Non c'ha senso. stupidi americani che non accettano che esistano altre lingue al mondo. (per il resto la serie è stupenda)

Già, lo immagino, infatti volevo chiederti, com'è che riesci a vedere questa serie praticamente in tempo reale? Abiti all'estero e hai Netflix, per caso? Sennò, come riesci? Scusa se sembra che mi stia facendo un po' troppo gli affari tuoi, voglio solo vedere questa serie, non darmi questa informazione se non vuoi!

Ouais, je crois, en fait, je voulais vous demander, comment est-il que vous pouvez voir cette série presque en temps réel? Vêtements à l'étranger et vous avez Netflix, par hasard? Sinon, comment parvenez-vous? Désolé si il semble que je fais un peu trop de votre propre entreprise, je veux juste voir cette série, ne me donne pas cette information si vous ne voulez pas!

When you watch further it all makes sense why the are speaking English. Mostly cause it's an American target audience. So for our ears it's English but when they interact with each other you'll notice they do speak their own language.

Lorsque vous regardez plus loin, il rend tous les sens pourquoi le sont anglophones. Surtout parce que ce est un public cible américaine. Donc, pour nos oreilles, il est anglais, mais quand ils interagissent les uns avec les autres, vous remarquerez qu'ils font parler leur propre langue.

SEMBRA parlino in inglese, in realtà ognuno parla la propria lingua. Difatti, quando interagiscono fra loro, succede che un americano parli coreano o un'indiana l'inglese. Gli attori parlano sempre in inglese, credo (non sono spoiler, solo opinioni), per due motivi principali
1. quando si connettono non si accorgono di parlare lingue differenti, e l'uso di un'unica lingua rende facile far comprendere la stranezza di questa abilità: la fanno vivere a noi così come a loro.
2. I personaggi vengono da diverse nazioni e solo pochi parlano l'inglese da madrelingua. Se avessero usato la lingua originale per ognuno di loro sarebbe stato troppo caotico e più difficile da seguire. Perché fare più sforzo per avere risultati peggiori, quando puoi fare le cose con meno sforzo, renderle più omogenee ed avere un pubblico maggiore?

Il semble parler en anglais, en fait, tout le monde parle leur propre langue. En fait, quand ils interagissent les uns avec les autres, il arrive qu'un Américain parler coréen ou un Anglais Indian. Les acteurs parlent toujours en anglais, je pense (pas spoiler, seulement des opinions), pour deux raisons principales
1. ne remarquent pas quand ils se connectent à parler des langues différentes, et l'utilisation d'une seule langue, il est facile de comprendre l'étrangeté de cette capacité: pour donner vie à nous comme eux.
2. Les caractères sont de différents pays et seulement quelques-uns parlent anglais par des locuteurs natifs. Si ils ont utilisé la langue originale pour chacun d'eux serait trop chaotique et difficile à suivre. Pourquoi faire plus d'efforts pour avoir les pires résultats, quand vous pouvez faire des choses avec moins d'effort, les rendant plus cohérent et avoir un plus grand public?

I think that is hard for actors/actresses talk other language for so long for example Korean. In my country we have words that is difficult for other countries to pronounce and some words don't exist in other languages. So I think that isn't for the audience but for the people who play the characters and for the writers :-)

Je pense qu'il est difficile pour les acteurs / actrices parlent une autre langue depuis si longtemps par exemple coréen. Dans mon pays, nous avons des mots qui est difficile pour les autres pays à prononcer quelques mots et ne existent pas dans d'autres langues.

the actors who play Wolfgang, Sun and Lito are respectively German, Korean and Spanish I think it wouldn't be a problem for them to speak in their mother language. and the fact then when they speak English only for the spectators they have an accent doesn't make any sense because as they explain later in the season that english is "translated" for our sake.

les acteurs qui jouent Wolfgang, Sun et Lito sont respectivement allemand, coréen et espagnol, je pense que ce ne serait pas un problème pour eux de parler dans leur langue maternelle. et le fait alors quand ils parlent anglais seulement pour les spectateurs, ils ont un accent ne fait pas de sens parce que, comme ils l'expliquent plus tard dans la saison que l'anglais est "traduit" pour notre bien.

In american comics, they obviously write everything in english, but they use "" to encapsulate texts "spoken" by foreign characters. So when a foreign character speaks english, even in a tv series, it is implied that the character is in fact speaking his home language. Otherwise, the series would need a lot of subtitles and the american public is adverse to subtitles. So that's why everybody speaks english even in their own countries in this series. Besides, it is much easier and cheaper to produce a series with only one spoken language.

Dans les comics américains, il est évident qu'ils écrivent tout en anglais, mais ils utilisent "" pour encapsuler textes "parlées" par des caractères étrangers. Alors, quand un caractère étranger parle anglais, même dans une série de télévision, il est implicite que le caractère est en fait parler sa langue d'origine. Sinon, la série aurait besoin d'un grand nombre de sous-titres et le public américain est défavorable aux sous-titres. Voilà pourquoi tout le monde parle anglais, même dans leur propre pays dans cette série. En outre, il est beaucoup plus facile et moins cher à produire une série avec une seule langue parlée.

Totally makes sense, but if every character talked in its presumably native language, watching the show will be more likely as reading a book. Overall, the show is magnificent and i cant wait for the next season.

Tout à fait logique, mais si chaque personnage a parlé dans sa langue maternelle sans doute, en regardant le spectacle sera plus susceptible que de lire un livre. Dans l'ensemble, le spectacle est magnifique et je ne peux pas attendre pour la prochaine saison.

Well it's not necessarily all in English. It's in the language the viewer most understands - having the choice for audio and subtitles to be in Spanish, French, German, and more. The way I interpret it, the people are speaking their own languages amongst themselves and to others, but we just hear them in the language we understand, but when they speak to another sensate, you hear them speaking their native language and coming to understand each other.

Eh bien, il est pas nécessairement tous en anglais. Il est dans la langue du spectateur comprend plus - avoir le choix pour l'audio et sous-titres en espagnol, français, allemand, et plus encore. La façon dont je l'interprète, les gens parlent leur propre langue entre eux et à d'autres, mais nous venons de les entendre dans la langue que nous comprenons, mais quand ils parlent à un autre sensate, vous les entendez parler leur langue maternelle et à venir se comprendre autre.

allora in anzitutto a ottobre arriva anche in Italia netflix e quindi dovresti essere in grado di accedervi senza utilizzare nulla. ma se non vuoi aspettare hai varie opzioni le più facili sono scaricare un estensione per chrome (basta che cerchi proxy e te ne appaiono anche di gratuite) che però non sempre funzionano. puoi sennò cercare un internet e modificare manualmente l'indirizzo Id del tuo computer ma per come devi fare dipende da che computer hai o l'opzione più semplice (che è anche quella che utilizzo io) è scaricare un VPN (consiglio Tunnel Bear) che ti dà 500 mega di navigazione da dove vuoi tu gratuiti al mese e puoi vedere se ti piace come funziona e decidere di pagare.

puis dans la première place jusqu'à Octobre arrive en Italie Netflix et donc vous devriez être en mesure d'y accéder sans utiliser quoi que ce soit. mais si vous ne voulez pas attendre pour les options les plus faciles êtes libre de télécharger une extension pour Chrome (ne sont tout simplement à la recherche de proxy et vous apparaîtrez également gratuit) mais ne fonctionne pas toujours. sinon vous pouvez trouver un internet et modifier manuellement l'adresse de votre ordinateur, mais Id aiment avoir à faire dépend de ce que l'ordinateur que vous avez ou l'option la plus facile (qui est aussi ce que je l'utilise) est de télécharger un VPN (conseil Tunnel Ours) qui Il vous donne 500 Mo de navigation où vous voulez gratuits par mois et vous pouvez voir si vous aimez la façon dont il fonctionne et décider de payer.

I think it's to show that sensates understand each other no matter their language (we see in the show that they appear to be speaking a langauge they never learnt when they meet). And i think it's in english to us, because that's the language the main audience of the show is supposed to speak.

Je pense qu'il est de montrer que Sensats comprendre l'autre, peu importe leur langue (que nous voyons dans le spectacle qu'ils semblent parler un langauge ils jamais appris quand ils se rencontrent).

Si tratta semplicemente di una questione di praticità, non sempre gli attori conoscono le lingue che magari il personaggio parla e anche se fosse, significherebbe sottotitolare ogni episodio. Però in questa serie tv, a differenza di altre, si capisce che in realtà Wolfgang parla tedesco con Felix (per fare un esempio) dal momento che svariate volte i sensate si sono stupiti del fatto che si comprendessero tra di loro; infatti, se noti, le prime volte che si "incontrano" parlano le rispettive lingue

Il est tout simplement une question de praticité, les acteurs ne savent pas toujours la langue qui peut-être le personnage parle et même si cela était, seraient sous-titrés chaque épisode.

Même en tant que fan de PLL Vaggelitsa: il ya beaucoup d'interactions entre les personnages de différents pays, et il serait difficile pour les acteurs de parler ces langues. Je ne crois pas qu'ils comprennent un seul mot de Corée / indienne / allemand / whatever. La prononciation serait un obstacle bien sûr, mais l'apprentissage de l'ensemble du texte serait la chose la plus difficile. Je suis français, je regarde tout montrer des films / TV en version originale, je l'utilise à l'oreille quelques phrases en français, et je peux dire une chose: les acteurs ont juste quelques mots à dire.
De plus, lorsque Sun parle Nomi (juste un exemple), la langue dans laquelle ils devraient parler? Coréenne? Anglais? Les deux, en fonction du pays? Je serais totalement perdu si elles devaient changer la langue chaque fois qu'ils passent entre les deux pays (ce qui arrive souvent quand il ya une interaction entre les deux personnages)

Because american people tend to dislike shows ehwn they're not in English because they don't like reading the subtitles. Think about Narcos. They didn't like it because it was in spanish. The show had to be sold to the USA. That's why everything is in English.

They speak english just because the show is from US. But if you notice, the first conversation between two of them they speak one sentence in their own language at the beginning. There's an episode that explain this idea, when Capheus talks with Sun and they question how they could understand each other. So, english represents the language that all of them understand in common. But we'll only know if that's the real idea when a characters that isn't a sensate talks with some sensate in person.

It's not about not wanting to read, or being too lazy to read. I read books every day. But that's the point: I read books, I watch TV. I don't mind reading subtitles here and there, but when an entire show or movie is subtitled, I don't like it at all, because I can't keep up. I can't walk and chew gum at the same time, as the saying goes. I can't simultaneously watch all the video and read all the dialogue. It's from a loss of cognition due to chronic illness, so this is MY reason for not watching subtitled shows/movies, but this goes to show that not everyone that dislikes subtitles because of laziness. Furthermore, Europeans live in close proximity to many other spoken languages, whereas we don't in the U.S., so it makes sense that they'll be more likely to learn multiple languages than we are.

i understand why they all speak english, it would be really hard for any spectator to follow all of the scenes with different languages, and reading subs is tiring after a while. it would be too messy. actually, i also really like the fact that they speak using their country's accents. accents are usually used to mock non-english speaking people in american/english tv shows, and it's nice to finally see a good portray of what foreign people sound like when speaking english. i like that the actors don't have to pretend to be mothertongues, i like that i can immediately recognize when wolfgang or kala or lito or sun are speaking because of their accents. and i like that the accent is part of their characterization and their culture, and that is not used to mock as it usually is (try learning another language, english mother tongues, than see if you are still down to make fun of the ones
who struggle with it!

I agree with you ! This is my one of my fav tv shows but it is supposed to be a very open minded show, which describe the life of very different people who are gathered in a "sensitive team" so they now share everything (talks, feelings, adventures...). But I would have preferred them to talk in their home language when they are in their country, with their family and to speak in English when they 8 meet ! It could have highlighted the fact that this sensitive thing make them feel like a real family apart from theirs in their own country. Anyways, I love this show !! ( I'm sorry if you don't understand what I truly mean; I'm French 🙃)

Because they are sensates,when they connect to each other,they will acknowledge another person's abilities,they 8 people are one person when they connect to each other.So when they are talking,they are just like talking to themselves.Im a Chinese,not too skilled in English.Hope you will get it.😄

My thoughts exactly. There can be no perfectly coherent series I guess :(

I agree with you,but,imagine what hard for spectator to follow all of the scenes with different languages lol

I totally agree with you. I speak Spanish with my family and friends, and comment here in English because it is the "lengua franca". But they shouldn't, English speakers are not the only audience.

It could be just that they all talk in their native language but from the spectator's pov it sounds like english. When they are together they can understand each other because they are conected

Totalmente de acuerdo. ;)

The things is all the 8 can speak every langue so it would be difficult to dissed what languae they would speak and it is much easier that every thing is in english cause if you just want to watch it online it is just more fun and intresting then constantly reading subs but move for this show 😍💕

Because they are not speaking english. They are actually speaking their native language. We hear english because it's an american tv show and english is kind of neutral

Omega9999 I understand that but I still think it makes no sense that they have an accent if the English is only for the spectator's ears. It's made for a lazy audience but, as most of the comments on my post have made clear, the majority is lazy and does want to read/accept diversity. They could have done like they did on heroes with the Japanese and the subtitles or in Vikings where they start speaking old English or French or whatever and after a few sentences switch to English. I personally would have preferred it this way, but I enjoyed the series nonetheless.

@[user_2241876_I'mtoooldtobeafangirl] they have an accent to make it More realistic that these are the characters speaking. If they didn't have an accent, we would wonder if they were really Korean or German. And they don't use subtitles because it's an American TV show.

And it's not our fault that we don't really have the chance to learn and speak another language. It's our education system. Also places like America is large, unless you are on the boarder of Mexico, we are not near another country that speaks another language. Whereas somewhere like Europe is filled with different countries side by side, where learning another language is just part of their every day life.

Also, they aren't dubbed. If you read their lips, they are speaking English.

I'm not agree with you .. cuz it'll be very confusing with 8 languages in just a single show

@I'mtoooldtlbeafangirl : if you don't like seeing strangers speaking with a funny accent what about making your own tv show with your own rules ?

bubbasvn I've never said it was dubbed, I still think I would have preferred if they did something more like Vikings. In Italy, where I'm from, learning another language is absolutely not part of everyday life, most people finish high school only knowing Italian, English has become more known thanks to the internet AND American shows that we watch subbed. That's how I learned it and as you can see, it worked pretty well. Sense8 isn't properly an American show, at least not as shows on American networks are. It's made for Netflix (that is available in 190 countries) with international actors and an international crew. The only proper American part of the show are the creators. I think it would broaden people horizons to hear different languages, but maybe it's just me.

@[user_2241876_I'mtoooldtobeafangirl] I can understand. But Netflix was created in America. Most of the connections with directors and actors and writers, etc. Will be in America. I'm not here to argue with you. Someone else mentioned that it was dubbed. I was just clarifying it wasn't. It would certainly be cool to have them speak their native languages, sure. But for the directors to control the feelings of 7 different languages, would be too difficult. They are already spending so much time filming those beautiful scenes as they jump from place to place

@[user_2241876_I'mtoooldtobeafangirl] with directors, they need to get the emotions right in a show like this. It's difficult to feel the full extent of emotions and fully understand the dialogue that you want your characters in, if there are lots of different languages. Probably easier for the directors. Also, they would have to hire whatever number of translators for each episode to translate screen writing, for the subtitles, each time they want to change a scene(making it longer, shorter, changing emotions, etc.) Just easier for an American writer and directors to keep everything in a language they understand and also so they don't need to go over their budget by spending extra money on script writers, subtitle writers, translators, etc.

Exactly!

no, that's not the point. they ARE speaking in their native language, but since they are sensates they can all understand each other, so it's like they're speaking in one language. and to the audience, making that language english would be the easiest. they talk about it in an interview..

I totally agree with you. This is the kind of artistic license I hate in films/TV shows. They should have done what they did in Lost and Heroes. Not only it would be much more realistic and true to the diversity the show preaches, but it also would be much more interesting when all the characters start interacting with one another because mutual intelligibility would actually be a surprise (not given for granted as it is right now). I will never understand people who prefer to hear a language that doesn't fit the character/country instead of making the minimal effort required to read subtitles and enjoying the beautiful sounds of other languages. Other than this, the series is very good so far.

And I'm saying this as a native Spanish speaker whose favourite language happens to be... English. 😁

March 2017

The show is aimed mainly at an English speaking audience having the need to read subtitles everytime they switch to another character can turn off some viewers. We hear the English but in the series they're speaking their original language

3

This is just like how all alien species on Star Trek speak English, albeit through a plot device (Universal Translator). As others have mentioned, having different languages will only complicate story telling and turn off viewers from immersing themselves into the show when they are reading subtitles instead.

2

April 2017

Yeah I think they should speak in their language and just add english subtitles.

2

May 2017

Exactly! I would have loved this show more if they spoke in their native languages. And if they spoke in their native languages to each other. It's a lost opportunity in authenticity.

May 2017

For viewers sake they speak english. But they're actually speaking their own respective languages

I don't understand why everyone is so stuck on language just enjoy the show are you too busy being

manihan do you speak all those languages I would never understand it it would be a horrible

May 2017

@dserenity52 Nope. I don't need to when subtitles are available. Besides, all those mob scenes would have been so much better in their native languages rather than English.

1

May 2017

It's probably to give it a sense of connection, since everyone in the cluster can understand each other's language they went with the default English instead of a really big mess with languages that would only make the view less fluid.

8

May 2017

Agreed. It makes no sense at all. I think it is the only flaw that the show has, tbh. Apart from that, all the love

0

May 2017

It actually makes a lot of sense, cause everybody understand each other in their language, english is just a medium to show it to us
How wpuld they communicate without a common language? They can't have subtitles irl, can they?
Moreover, subtitles distract from the scene, so i can see why they didn't want to put them

9

May 2017

That's the major weakness in the show coz Koreans predominantly speak Korean and are very poor in English like most East Asians

2

May 2017

I believe the producers intend us to assume the characters are speaking their own languages. They are just trying to avoid distracting subtitles and a mess (with respect) of languages in group scenes. Also, to allow the actors to truly bond and vibe off eachother as well as they do, they have to understand eachother pretty well. There cannot be many actors that speak 7 languages. Even if you've rehearsed the other actors' lines in your own language a hundred times, you wouldn't be as emotionally invested in response in the scene as you would if you could understand what they are saying. I think the common language is a necessity for the show's success and many more people would be complaining if they'd tried to do it the other way.

It just makes things easier do you know how much work it is to get a translator to type at the speed of conversation? Not easy. Its also cheaper

soncrazy808 I'm so glad you get that thank you

I actually think besides being an American show it's because in the show, others and themselves hear eachother speaking one of their languages. So they would need to get actors that could speak all of the languages in the show if they were to do it this way... Because in the show they are speaking to eachother "perfectly" in eachother's language. I don't see Will ripping out some perfect Korean so it would be super unrealistic and impossible to find actors that sound like they know how to speak Korean, Swahili, German and so on. I realise this is a super old thread but I got stuck on it 😂

I totally agree with everything you say. In Narcos they speak Spanish cause they are living in a Spanish speaking country. It absolutely doesn't make any fucking sense (😅) that they talk English with their friends and family.

Which language should they speak in a inyernational tvshow? English is the language of the world!

September 2017

They make a point of that in the first season with Sun and Caphues when he asks her "... you speak Swahili?" And she asks "You speak Korean?" It's to show that they are universally understanding each other because of the connection. Just like when Will was speaking Korean for an moment in season one as well...

I think that the characters speak in their own language, and thanks to the conection they have they can understand each other, they wouldn't put the actor to act in their language bc it'd be a mess to put subtitles or a translator to teach the others, and the emotion of the scene wouldn't be the same
