[FONT=&quot]Context is important.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 Corinthians 14:21-22[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Tongue[/FONT][FONT=&quot]s, then, are a sign[/FONT][FONT=&quot], not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.[/FONT]

They heard in their own language because the Apostles were speaking in their languages.
The miracle was in the speaking, not in the hearing.
From the context, that's clear. Why do you think that some thought that these Galilean fishermen were drunk?

[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]
Mark 16
9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. 13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.

14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.

Acts 2:4 says they did.

Acts 2:4
All of them (The people) were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in {other / different}[tongues / languages] as the Spirit enabled them.

"Them" is the people. The verse does not say (The Apostles.) They were different peoples speaking in different languages.
