A colleague of mine says that it distracts her when I speak german on the phone. She can tune out english just fine, but when somebody speaks in a foreign language, she has to use headphones.

I'm with your colleague on this one. But that's because I love the german language and wish I could speak it. Besides that I can see how our brains learn to tune out english like they do ads but then when something very unique comes along it can be very hard.
