[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I think it’s rude 
We’ve several friends from Europe who do this and we spend less time with them as a result 
It’s not just rude because we can’t understand yet it’s often clear that they’re talking about us 
But it’s also annoying to have to listen to foreign accents [/quote]

I can see why they might want to have a running commentary about you in a different language.[/quote]
Yes
The comment about foreign accents being annoying is interesting. I love dialects and wish I had more time to dwell on these.

I Do remember being horrified when my mom would walk up to me in front of my friends and talk in our native language. She didn't understand that I really didn't like it.
Most of the time when people talk in their own language it is useless mundane things. You really have to be a pain for people to feel the need to say something about you in your presence[/quote]

Yes! 
That is why I thanked her. She let OP see the kind of people who have a problem with it. They are not friends.  Hopefully she can find nice friends instead. [/quote]
