What the H is YOUR problem.
You have a problem with people having conversations in their native language.
They also probably speak English better then you do.

What the H is YOUR problem?
(1) I, for one, have a problem with people having conversations in their native language in the workplace in the U.S. (If just visiting as a tourist — no problem.) I worked with Filipino people in a government office in California, and we Americans agreed that their incessant yip-yapping to each other in Tagalog in front of everyone was annoying and, even worse, RUDE. We complained formally, but it turns out that they have the right not to be offended, but it’s OK for us to be offended.
(2) Good grief, if a NURSE, dealing with life-and-death issues doesn’t/won’t speak intelligible English in America, or doesn’t understand English, you bet I have a problem with that. There comes a point where the health of patients trumps political correctness.
(3) My MIL is 93, is in a California convalescent home following major surgery, and the head nurse is Filipino. The most excruciating time of my day is when she checks in and attempts to provide an update. We cannot understand a word she says, and she can’t understand us. My MIL can’t understand her. We wonder if the doctor(s) can. How is this a good thing? What is the potential for major errors in my MIL’s healthcare?
(4) Is English your second language? If so, then it makes sense that the “then”-vs.-”than” issue might be a challenge. Also, following a question, i.e., “What the H is YOUR problem”, there should be a question mark instead of a period.
