Stuck with unsociable flatmates

I was so excited to move into my flat and meet people, however so far it has been a complete disappointment. I moved in last week and found that 3 of my 4 flatmates were Chinese. Of course I didn't mind about this but one of my friends at another Uni said that Chinese people have a reputation for always sticking together in their own groups, and she was completely right. I've only had one conversation with them and it was just awkward small talk. I've been down to the kitchen a few times and have always tried to make conversation with them but they are always talking to one another in Chinese and pretty much ignore me apart from the occasional "hello". I have 1 flatmate who is English but he spends most of his time at his girlfriends flat and never seems interested in socializing with me.

I'm someone who finds it difficult being away from home anyway and am feeling quite homesick, and the fact that my flatmates are being unsociable is just making me feel so lonely. I keep calling home and crying down the phone to my mum about how sad I feel. How do I make this situation better?
