They are clearly talking about you behind your back, saying rude things..


Nah :laugh: I know it probably makes you feel a bit uncomfortable but that's the way they communicate with each other every day so no I don't find it to be rude tbh.

Thanks for your replies, guys.

It is a tricky situation but I know it's not that much of a big deal, and it doesn't have an effect on our relationship so I just have to get on with it and try not to be bothered by it.

Tell them to stop being so bloody racist! :fist:

It is very rude and bad mannered.
Fair enough if they could not speak EngliSh, but as they can, then it is rude.

I don't find it rude as such. It's the same here, English is the main language but there's always a few that speak in Welsh and then turn back to English.

I think it would be a bit needy to expect the whole family, at a family get-together, not to speak their native tongue because they have a native English speaker as a guest. Of course they should include that person in some of the conversations in English, but I wouldn't expect them not to speak to each other in their own language in this situation.

You're getting worse.

I think it's rude tbh

More inconsiderate than being deliberately rude I would say.

When I was at Uni,there were a group of foreign students who always spoke in their language whenever a lot of us were at social occasions.
I just once said in a joking manner, oops no good coming over here, I cannot understand what's being said.
To which they responded with, they had never thought of that and they then spoke in English most of the time.

No because it's their house but if it wasn't then yeah kinda. Still they have the right to speak whatever they want.

Of course it's rude, if you've been invited as a guest in their home then they should speak in your language because they could be saying something horrible about you and you wouldn't even know about it, plus it does make things awkward I would imagine.

You should pretend you understand what they're saying...

Kiss the friends
Marry Braden
And avoid the family.

yes because how do you know they aint talking about you :suspect:

I have thought again as to this and yes it is different if you have been invited to their home.
So I would agree it is more rude in that situation,it is bound to make someone feel uncomfortable at the very least.
