A foreign tongue is any language that is not the language you were brought up to speak. Therefore, if you were born in the USA. you would likely be brought up in English. Whereas, if you are 2nd or 3rd generation Italian, your parents were brought up to speak Italian. If you were fortunate, you would acquire both of these languages as you grow up and would be able to speak either fluently.
