I only know English but I would absolutely LOVE to learn Khmer.
My mom is a Cambodian immigrant who has been in the states for 40+ years so she's fluent in both Khmer and English (although she still has a rather apparent accent). My dad is American going back many generations (there's some Native American, Irish and German way back, but nothing close enough for any of my paternal living relatives to know a language other than English).
I unfortunately wasn't taught Khmer growing up though. I know a handful of phrases but nothing particularly substantial. My mom was focused on assimilating herself and her family into American society so she didn't prioritize teaching her children Khmer. (Wish she had. Would've been a much easier transition to grow up naturally bilingual, rather than learning it in it's entirety in my adult life).
Since I'm rather exclusive to English I never really held a conversation with my maternal great-aunt (she adopted my mother so she's referred to as Grandma/Yiey but technically isn't). I wish I knew Khmer and could have had a conversation with her. She passed away a couple years ago.

Im fluent in Russian! :)
All thanks to my adoptive parents, its pretty awesome because nobody expects it.
i wish i had realized when i was a kid how important and hard it is to learn another language i forgot how to write and read in russian and it feels like its taking ten times longer to learn it all over again.

Well, I'm not fluent in anything other than English, but I can hold short conversations in both Japanese and Korean. I haven't taken any classes, though...
I've taken a year of Mandarin, but I honestly didn't learn much. Ehehe...

I've already posted here here once before, but I'd like to revise what I said earlier. I no longer am pursuing Russian, Chinese, or Korean.
I'd really love to learn Romanian. >.>

I was once fluent in Spanish. I'm trying (or have tried, and currently on hiatus from) Russian, Japanese (never fluent, but once conversationally cognizant), Mandarin Chinese, French, and Italian (the last two to round out the Romance languages and get a head start on Latin, since it seems like the best dead language to learn these days and I already know quite a few words and phrases). As it is, I can understand a few things in a lot of languages, but I'd be at a loss for what to say if you told me to say something beyond a couple of beginner words or common phrases.
