Jumma Prayer - What should he do if he does not understand anything of the Friday khutbah?

I'm presently living in Africa right now. So I can't speak the
languagedown here. During the friday khutbah, I never gain anything
from it. what should I do when the khutbah is going on?Can i READ the
koran andremember my Lord or should I just sit there and listen to
something that I don't even understand?
Praise be to Allaah.
If you listen, even if you do not understand anything, you will be
doing something good, in sha Allah. Some of the scholars excused those
who do not understand the language of the khutbah and allowed them to
occupy themselves with dhikr orreading Qur'aan, subject to the
condition that they do not disturb others who are listening to the
khutbah. The viewwhich I favour, however,is that you should listen
even if you do not understand.
Shaykh 'Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr
