I encourage students to speak Spanish to translate for less proficient students, but in one high school class students sometimes say things about me when I tell them to stop chatting or take their cell phone. It's very annoying, and sometimes they will say something that makes others laugh. I only speak a little Spanish, so I don't understand what they're saying.

That has always worked for me.
