Today, I was over my grandparents' house for my grandfather's birthday. For years they would talk to each other in Italian and I could never understand them, so I started to take an online class to teach myself Italian. Now I know all they talk about is how much they hate everything about me. FML

You should play along with it and then when the times right you should start talking in Italian. Embarrass them.

Sorry OP some families can be real assholes even to their one of their own.

I wonder if your parents ever visited at the same time and could understand everything they said....

wow those are some grandparents you got there

If the reason they don't like you is because you ride a tangerine bicycle and sleep with many, many oxen, you might want to show them your mucus and chilax. Oy vey!

Maybe your lost in translation. It's easy to get lost. But if you feel that's what they are saying then I wouldn't go over there anymore. Or next time you do and you hear them say something ask them why in Italian. That would teach them a lesson but also start a real conversation. Good luck and protect yourself emotionally.

Turn the tables and tell them what miserable excuses for grandparents they are in Italian, then calmly get up and leave. Sounds like you're a good grand kid so if they're not going to appreciate the time you spend with them don't waste it on them!

I could of told you that before you took all those classes. Everyone knows that talking foreign languages they are usually talking about you lol. For real though that sucks fyl

Well, that's family for you: respect... Love yourself and do your own thing from today forward. Never mind what they think. Above all, if these grandparents need care when they're older, please leave that to others who they valued and treated with respect and kindness.
