So I just recently got a new job (2 days ago) and it's in a major tourist place. I'm so aggravated though because I'm mainly doing phone orders and I really wanted to mainly be doing cooking, but thats another story. Anyways a lot of people there are international and are in the US on work visas. I caught two people talking in Russian about me and I'm so aggravated because the least they could do is go somewhere else and talk about me even if it is in a different language! How should I make it known that that I can understand a little bit of what there saying without being rude? By the way I have nothing against people who are from Russia. Just people who talk about me and think that I don't know it.

Yeah but I'm not even sure what exactly they said only a couple words. I know that one guy was putting me down and the other was sticking up for me, but that's about it. I only understood the words: She's in training. and She is studying.

Say something along the lines of "I don't appreciate you talking about me in Russian." I don't think you can get less rude than that.

One of the guys was a manager! I have to try to be a little less rude than that.
