In a office environment someone is speaking a language other than a common one like English & they continue to do know in your presence knowing all well that you cannot understand them.
Even though I speak 4 languages myself, I find this extremely rude & in poor taste.
What do you think & what can you do if anything to overcome this?

I agree with you!! It is rude and in poor taste!! I would try talking to them and explain it creates hard feelings among the others, ask them how they feel when it happens to them?? If they speak no other language then the one they are speaking then that is understandable!! Hopefully, if you talk to them reasonably they will listen!! Good Luck!!

Even if I can't follow the words, I can usually follow tone and gender well enough to laugh in the right place.
This gets their attention. If I have business with one of them, I start talking. If I don't I move on.
I find it makes people more careful about talking like I'm not there.

Yes, rude indeedly doodly. Manners are a dying tradition. The only thing you can do is ignore it. Sad, but true. Nevermind, eventually, you develop excellent self-control.

Yes, I do. There's few people from India in my office that do that all the time. What make's it worse is that they speak much louder when they do it.

Maybe it's a come-on to step outside your comfort zone,
with a "hello, I can't understand what you're talking about, if you can teach me, I'd love to learn!"

Not care. It does wonders for my daily office experience. Just do your work, and ignore your annoying co-workers.
