In a sense, one’s language is an expression of one’s culture; it is culture expressing itself in sound. As you interact with persons from cultures different than your own, try to appreciate that the language they speak is simply a different variety of the language you speak, just as their face is much like your face. Try to appreciate the differences rather than judge them. Perhaps think of the different languages as analogous to food.

People in all cultures eat food, but how they prepare it differs considerably. Perhaps (probably) you enjoy food that comes from cultures different than your own. Perhaps you enjoy Mexican food, German food, and Indian food. Try to enjoy, rather than judge, language.
