I speak Japanese N1 and have been at this company 3 years. New coworker keeps speaking broken English to me, refusing to use Japanese. I think he wants to practice. It is exhausting. How to politely tell him to stop?

You could say: 「仕事の話は日本語でお願いできますか？」 (“Could we use Japanese for work discussions?”)
