What to do if your colleagues only speak Arabic?

I have two new colleagues at work who always speak Arabic…

It really annoys me when I'm on a construction site with the two of them and they suddenly only speak/shout in Arabic.

Especially since both can speak fluent German.

I'd like to tell them both what I think or have the boss assign me other colleagues, but I don't want to be labeled a Nazi…

How do I proceed?

I think it’s very exaggerated to sniff someone with a Nazi just because he wants to do his job. On a building site, teamwork is important and if you consciously exclude yourself from the foreign language, you have every right to wish you reasonable employees.

If they don’t even give you the reason that you’re professional at work and speak the prescribed language, then they’re the problem, not you.

To the boss, report sick. The boss has to prove to you who he prefers to…just after repeated request from the boss, the warning

At least my Japanese colleagues helped – when I asked them politely not to speak Japanese in my presence!

Learn Arabic from your colleagues! Learning a new language expands its own horizon and is an important contribution to intercultural dialogue in Germany.

Learning by doing. Then you would be polyglott and all your colleagues would admire you.

In my country, I don’t learn Arabic to crawl into the A…you have to adapt, not citizens
