lots and lots
Roman gladiators primarily spoke Latin, the language of ancient Rome. However, many gladiators came from diverse backgrounds, including regions such as Gaul, Thrace, and Africa, so they might have also spoken their native languages or dialects. Communication among gladiators and their trainers would have involved a mix of Latin and any relevant local languages, particularly in the training schools known as "ludi."
Yes, there were gladiators in Britain, particularly during the Roman occupation from AD 43 to 410. Evidence of gladiatorial contests has been found in various archaeological sites, including amphitheaters like the one in London. These events were part of Roman entertainment culture, attracting both local and visiting audiences. Gladiators in Britain, as elsewhere in the Roman Empire, were often slaves or prisoners of war, trained to fight for public amusement.
If you were conquered by the Roman Empire, or by any other mean become a slave, you could then be sold to a Ludo owner. Ludos were houses owned by Lanistas, who bought and trained men to fight and die in the arena games. Those men were called gladiators.
No, there does not seem to be any female gladiators that are even named, let alone be famous. Most women would use a "stage name" anyhow, as they certainly would not want their family name associated with the lowest form of entertainment. This, of course, is assumed that they were free women who entered the arena voluntarily. The British Museum has a marble of two female gladiators with their names inscribed in Greek as "Amazon" and "Achillia". They are obviously stage names but there is no record of how famous these women were.
About the only effect gladiators have on us today is in the "sword and sandal" movies, or the footwear called "gladiator sandals. Some people liken gladiatorial combats with the present day sport of boxing, but the ancients had boxing and it developed along its own lines, with nothing to do with gladiators except perhaps some of the footwork and jabbing.
Lions, bears, tigers, hippos, and even a rhino
Oh, dude, were gladiators gay? Well, technically, some historians believe that there were instances of homosexual relationships among gladiators, but it wasn't like a gladiator dating app or anything. They were just bros fighting in the arena, you know? Like, who has time for love when you're busy trying not to get eaten by a lion?

For a Roman Gladiator you had to fight to the death and kill many people and even animals sometimes.
The exact number of gladiators in ancient Rome is difficult to determine, as it varied over time and depended on factors such as the size of the games and the demand for entertainment. Thousands of gladiators could be present across different schools and arenas at any given time. Historical estimates suggest that during the height of gladiatorial games, there may have been several thousand active gladiators.
The Circus Maximus was used for chariot racing and some religious ceremonies and pageants were performed there. The Colosseum was for any other type of entertainment, gladiatrorial fights, public executions, animal hunts, etc.
