I never could get the trick of juggling with more than three balls. I can read French, and write it with effort and help from dictionaries and so forth, and know a lot of French words, but cannot hold a conversation in French. I keep telling myself that all I need is immersion, but maybe that's not true and fluency is beyond me. I don't know, yet.
There are things I learned but hate so didn't learn well. Mainframe COBOL. I learned just enough to re-write everything in C# and then never looked at COBOL again.
That's all that strikes me at the top of my head. I'll think about it some more.
Oh - I suppose learning to talk. Supposedly I was one of those who never spoke a word until I was about two, then started speaking in complete sentences.
