I think you are right they are being rude. I dated a guy from Croatia and he spoke his native language in front of me to his friends and family and it made me feel alienated. I told him about it but it continued, we are no longer together. I am not sure what you should do but I would remain professional and only speak to them if you need to about work. There's no reason they should not be speaking English unless they are saying things they should not say. I would create strong boundaries with these people and continue to focus on yourself. Sorry you are experiencing this problem I know how you feel in a way!!! Good luck |

You could take a language course. Even if you learned just enough of the basics, you'd understand at least some of what they're saying. By all means, learn your name in their language. It's worth a try. Hang in there! |
