    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.

      All studies point that there is no easier to learn a language in your 30s than in your teens. Probably easier since you have better mental tools for study.

      Of course time constraints can be worse (or better)
