Two spring to mind:
I regret being rude to people who, in retrospect, didn't deserve it.
I regret being polite to people who, in retrospect, didn't deserve it.
And about the foreign language thing, ignoramus, don't treat yourself too badly. I had French for almost three years - when I finally made it to France, all I could remember was, 'The bureau of my aunt is near the chair of your uncle.' Handy if you need to locate family furniture, but surprisingly unhelpful in other situations.
