56. Estonian

Spent 10 days there visiting relatives a few years ago and spoke Estonian the entire time.
I was born here to immigrant parents and learned English in kindergarten. My parents both spoke English, Estonian, Russian and German fluently but wanted me to thoroughly learn Estonian first. Estonian Saturday school, summer camp, scouts, etc. I wasn't allowed to speak any English at home until college.
