If your roommate is from a different tribe and you can’t understand each other well, what do you do?

My roommate and I are from different tribes, and let's just say our communication is a beautiful chaos. In addition to that, whenever he brings his friends they’re always very loud which sometimes is disorienting. On the bright side, he’s teaching me some basics of Dholuo, which honestly I don’t know if I’ll ever be fluent in, but I love the experience so far , as I teach him some Kikuyu phrases. It's a hilarious cultural exchange, but also a daily adventure. How do you and your roommate bridge the cultural gap?
