Ow Sorry, lets switch to english to make you part of this conversation Last week I went for a business trip in Germany and since some of the participants did not speak English - including myself - the 2 day workshop was planned to be entirely in English. Considering that 90% of the attendees were German, it was quite common to see them talking to each other in German and sometimes, unfortunately some of the non German speakers were also part o those "conversation", which is a very unpleasant situation. My point is that if you really care about the people around you, you would have the greatest care to consider that you have a foreigner among you and alert the others about this mistake, showing empathy with that situation that may happen to you in the future.
