A part of me still wants to learn Russian. They have some truly great novelists and I'm very curious how their novels give off a richer experience in their native language vs translated ones.
Nabokov and Dostoevsky for example were very good at word play. They used subtle irony and evocative imagery. There's also slang and cultural context. Such nuances can be difficult to transfer in translation.
