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.

I'm trying to learn Russian, and I wish I were already fluent lol

Russian is hard! (I'm sure you already know that.) What language(s) do you already know?

Just English. I've tried to learn Spanish repeatedly and it didn't stick, so I decided to do something completely different. My girlfriend speaks Russian fluently, so it seemed like a logical language to try. It's not as hard as I was expecting, honestly.
