I also wish I spoke Chinese, Korean or Spanish! Those are useful languages. My first language is Dutch, and I get few benefits from being bilingual.

As a child, speaking Dutch allowed me to participate more fully in daily life during our regular, extended trips back to the Netherlands. Now I barely use it except to talk to my mother, and we could speak English; we just don't.

I still go to NL occasionally, but only on short trips. The language is nice to have, but the average visitor doesn't need it. Almost all Dutch people speak English.
