I wish I could speak Finnish. But, actually, there are tons of languages I wish I could speak. All of them, really, but Finnish is the first one I thought of just now.

I’m in the US and English is my my primary language. I studied Russian but have forgotten a lot of it. I know a few words of German and French, but very few.

Edited to add: Please tell me what your primary language is. It would also be interesting to know what other languages you speak, if any, and where you currently live.

    My family’s language, Gujarati. I’m a third gen immigrant (UK/US) and for Reasons, I didn’t get taught the language as a kid. It’s not one of those languages you find on Duolingo or at the community college or anything either. It’s a real bummer not being able to connect with your elders.

    In the meanwhile, I studied Chinese in college and Spanish in high school, both in the US. I know (or knew, at one point) just enough to get myself around while traveling.
