Language barrier problems...

Hi Everyone, not sure if any of you have been through this but here goes anyway,

I'm from Jordan, now since Arabic is supposed to be my first language, everything should be fine, except my arabic sucks big time.

Naturally I feel more comfortable around English speakers, the problem is, I went through a phase where depression made me isolated. The whole episode left me pretty much without friends, not that I really care, because if they were good friends they would have stuck around but they didn't so I'm better off without them. I started hanging out with my cousin, except the only problem is, all her friends pretty much communicate in Arabic. I have tried and tried to build rapport but it just seems impossible, it's like some of them will not even listen to me if I spoke to them in English.

What would you guys do if you were in my place?
