I only wish I spoke other languages. I'm a bit miffed at my folks over this. I am a first born American. My father was German, mother an Italian. They met in France. They both spoke three languages. When they immigrated to the U.S., they made a conscious decision to leave all of that behind and adopt the American way of life. So all of us kids (5) were never exposed to our parents heritage or language. I totally understand why they did what they did. But I still feel slighted. I could have easily learned those languages as a child.
