What’s your worst regret from not being able to fluently speak a language?

inb4 I don’t have a worst regret because I’m fluent heh. <br><br>I regret breaking up with my then girlfriend because she said she didn’t want to teach me her language anymore. <br><br>Edit: Sorry I didn’t finish the story, I realized I was rambling<br><br>Then I regret not being able to talk to my friend in his native language when he visited me in Japan. He was so excited to practice his Japanese in Japan but I had to disappoint him and say I don’t speak Japanese and I only speak 2 other foreign languages I learned from class/third-party resources (this was before I discovered the internet was a good resource and it was a lot harder to learn a language back then). Then I regret not being able to speak in his native language when he visited me in Vietnam and asked what my favorite Vietnamese food was and I had to answer in English “I have no idea”. <br><br>Then I regret having a “make or break” argument with the only friend I talk to who could speak Japanese. <br><br>Then I regret failing Japanese in college and being the only student to fail it in a class of 10. <br><br>Then I regret not having the courage to invite the only Japanese speaking person I knew to my wedding. <br><br>Then I regret breaking up with my long-distance girlfriend with Japanese fluency and moving to Japan not knowing any Japanese. <br><br>Then I regret not studying Japanese hard enough before coming to Japan when I had to go to the immigration office. <br><br>Then I regret I told my Japanese in-laws that I was fluent in Japanese when I wasn’t. <br><br>Then I regret not being able to say anything in my native language when some people from back home asked what I was doing in Japan and I just stared at them like a “dumb gaijin” mainly because I still can’t say anything in my native language. <br><br>Then I regret not being able to answer my Japanese friends when they ask what’s the difference between this and that in my native language and I say “I don’t know”. <br><br>Then I regret not writing this post in Japanese.
