rpf time

I (26M) am in this band with my friend (25M) whom I met ten years ago when he unpromptedly started criticising one of the songs I'd been playing with my old band. (His father had written the song years ago, but that's irrelevant in this case). We've actually become good friends, I think, and also started a new band together and I'd say our friendship is doing quite well. But he's taken up learning my first language for a while now and whenever he talks in it, I can't stop staring at him. Even when he's recounting how obnoxious he was the first time we met, I just feel like I need to give him my full attention, period. It's started to become exhausting because lately we've been in quite a few situations in which he has to talk in my mother tongue (for promo stuff, don't worry about it), and I don't really know what to do to be able to focus on anything else. Any advice?
