I can't manage conflicts well and I can't learn Japanese.

I eagerly started to school at 5 years old thinking I was going there to learn to sing and dance.   A week in, I hadn’t learned either one, so I was very upset and didn’t want to go anymore!   I had hope in 2nd grade, as there was a piano in the classroom, and we did sing.  Same teacher, same room for 3rd grade; we were still singing, and there were actually rules for singing, so I was learning, and pretty satisfied.   

By 4th grade I had long given up on the dancing, but then square dancing came along in 7th grade, and I was really happy then!   Singing, and then dancing, with boys, school was great!   Dancing lasted 2 years, choir for 3, and by then I had other interests to get me thru till graduation.  

I do wish I’d learned to swim, but have a great fear of water.

I've never been able to whistle.  How hard should that be?

I always had trouble whistling too until a few months ago when I asked my dentist if anything could be done to even out my lower front teeth which were crooked and have bothered me my entire adult life.  He slightly ground down the top of one tooth to be on level with the others.  Lo and behold  I can whistle now.  And I'm pretty darn good at it too!

I sometimes watch a bit of it online.

Sing.   Even my grandchildren did not want me to sing Happy Birthday to them!  I sing loudly in the car when I am by myself!

Sing.

 I always mouthed the words in school. My voice was so low, and I just have an awful singing voice!

One more non swimmer here.  And I live at the beach!

My parents (and aunts & uncles) were off the boat Italian, but I cannot speak the language.  And I've taken several adult ed classes at different times to learn.  And have been to Italy 3 times.  Yikes.

I have no sense of balance - cannot ice skate, rollerskate, barely walk a straight line.
