    Anyone have experience learning a new language in their 30s? I've tried and failed a few times. I can't tell if the time constraints (family, work, life) or mental constraints are the bigger problem.

      Immersion is key. Get a basic vocabulary going, then go to meet-ups, listen to music and watch tv shows in the language.
