I speak my mother tongue a little bit, not quite fluently. It's a shame that I didn't know how to speak my mother tongue when I was little (I learned to speak it when i was in college) and thus I couldn't communicate with my grandparents (of my mother's side) before they deceased.
I failed to learn to speak my mother tongue when I was little and I missed the chance to get to know my grandparents and the live they lived through.
