    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.

      Tried and failed in my thirties, succeeding much better in my forties. I doubt you've lost neuroplasticity.
