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.

American with only one language under my belt.

I used to be somewhat passable with American Sign Language, and keep meaning to get back into it. I wish others knew even a little bit, so when I’m feeling nonverbal I could just sign as much.

I’m teaching myself Norwegian via apps and books, but I have no one to talk to. :(
