I have always wished that I learned another language when I was younger -- studies show that it's easier for kids to learn multiple languages than it is for adults.

I took Spanish in middle school but I pretty much have only retained counting to 10 and asking where the bathroom is (plus my daughter taught me "10 Little Indians" in Spanish when she came home from her Montessori preschool one day).

I took German in college and, other than asking where my mother is, the one phrase that has stuck in my (head because I like how it sounds) is "Haben sie einen plattenspieler?" -- which means "Do you have a record player?" Very helpful in today's iPod world.
