5/8 ppl in my student housing group are not German and communication is so hard. It took me and my neighbor like a week to explain that no one is cleaning the kitchen for us, everyone should clean up their own stuff. 


There's 2 Indian guys, 2 from Ghana and one polish guy and everyone (including us German ppl) has very strong accents. 

Last semester there were 5 German people so it was easier to organize this. 

At the moment everyone is staying in bc the weather is beyond shitty and at one point there were 5 people in the kitchen, trying to cook. 

We are collectively loosing our minds because the oven is always dirty

Yes but Indian English is very different from British English and we all have strong accents so we do not understand each other very well.

I'm bad with processing language and they talk so fast. I always have to ask what they said and I feel so bad each time. 

They always reply with OK but then never actually keep that thing in mind.

We have a whatsapp group but they always respond with OK but don't follow through. 

Idk I think it's hard because there are 5 new people this semester vs 3 old people and it was only 2 new people last semester

When I lived with flatmates abroad all the exchange students were acting decent and the Natives were weirdos who didn’t clean and yelled all night. But that had nothing to do with language barriers obvi lol.

this is actually a really good idea, I do this at work a lot when there’s a patient who’s first language isn’t English

There's currently 15 people in our tiny 10 square meter kitchen. 

I tried to make pancakes and Indian guy No1 shows up with 2 girls.  Ahh those are just my friends okay fine it's the weekend, why not. 

Suddenly it's 15 people. He promises me it's a one time thing. Sure, don't wanna be a killjoy, just clean when you are done and empty the garbage because I'm not doing that when there's garbage from 14 people that don't belong to the kitchen...... 

Let's see if he will empty the garbage can. 


They just started playing music very loud. 

I suddenly miss the girl who never put away her dishes, at least she was quiet......

If they are constantly neglecting their responsibilities, could u see urself reporting about them to the student housing's landlord? I understood u have asked those roommates multiple times to clean up and they haven't done anything about it, even tho they act like they got what u are saying.
Those are basic manners after all (cleaning up own mess, etc.) so you shouldn't need to remind them all the time.
