I can give you my own example. As I grew up, I saw my uncles and relatives working for multinationals and that sort of big ventures. I knew one day I'll work in formal environments like them, and so I observed what they wore closely. So in my case, it's all about self-education, and I had to rely on my observation skills. But some formal training could have made life a lot easier.

Be confident in yourself and your abilities. Whether you are rich or not, poor or not, or have academic qualifications, it doesn't really matter. If the two of you are working on the same level in the same company, more often than not, your abilities won't have a significant difference.
I feel that this has a really simple solution: Take some time to break the ice. Try to talk to and understand each other. Quite a few times, you'll be surprised that the person in front of you is friendly and warm with you, and not the way you thought they might be.
So, just be confident and try to talk to them. It should solve the problem.

Tanya, Minaxi Sharma has said what I wanted to say. If the company has offered you a job, it has felt that you are at par with their culture and ethics. Do not get into an inferiority complex and spoil yourself. English is not the end of the world, and communicate in the language best known to you. Speak in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, or Gujarati. I worked in Maharashtra and Gujarat states, and I have seen IAS/IPS officers and Judges speak in Marathi and Gujarati. Why should you be ashamed of your ability to speak or not speak a language? Moreover, others may start conversing in the vernacular. You can always speak English in due course of time. And do not worry, even if it is a mistake, speak with mistakes. Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Japan, Korea, China - there are many countries that do not speak English. Be brave, lady, do not worry.

Hi Tanya,
Firstly, congratulations on joining an MNC and taking a leap over others in your career. It has been very rightly commented/suggested by all the learned professionals. There is nothing wrong with you regarding the skills required to be successful in your career. It doesn't matter whether you are convent-educated or from a model school; it is your attitude and skills that determine your growth or downfall.

Hi Tanya,
As mentioned, this is predominantly common. I would like to say, be who you are and start your day with a smile. Try to mingle with others to the extent required, and down the line, what matters is your optimism and skills. Be a leader always and let others adopt the best things from you, and vice versa. It is common for everyone entering an MNC, but everyone learns over time. So, be confident and carry on, dude. You will see a difference within a month's time.
Take care,

Hello Tanya,
Getting the job in an MNC proves that you are efficient as well as capable. Why do you want to look at your peers' backgrounds, whether they are from rich families or convents? All these backgrounds have no effect on corporate culture. Prove your job worthiness, and the entire crowd will turn heads towards you. Boost your confidence, bury egos, stay open, and mix with your team. If you still feel let down, it's probably with your teammates.
Cheers

Hi Tanya, I guess you are feeling a little scared in conversing with your colleagues. Simply do one thing: on a daily basis for 7 days, take a newspaper and read it aloud in front of the mirror. Do it religiously for 7 to 10 days, and you will see the confidence you gain.

Hi Tanya,
Congrats to you not only for your placement in an MNC but also for the valuable suggestions you received from various professionals. What they said is obviously perfect.
You are asking how to start the process of making yourself professional. You have already taken the first step to change yourself by posting this query. So, just continue in this manner.
This will be applicable to your problem exactly. If you hadn't posted this query, you wouldn't have had a chance to receive so many suggestions, right? Similarly, you wouldn't have the chance to change until you take the opportunity to speak with your colleagues.
When it comes to communication skills, the course you are taking doesn't matter until you try to speak. Communication develops by interacting with others. You won't have a chance to correct yourself unless you take the initiative.
And remember, no one is perfect in speaking English or any other foreign language. It's just that.
