Analyst Report
Learning a language is hard.
I couldn’t even get a basic grasp of Spanish in middle school. So I eventually just threw in the towel and took Latin -- a dead language that's barely spoken.
I've always held the belief that gaining fluency in a language as an adult is next to impossible without innate abilities. It’s one of those things that everyone wants to do -- but it's too difficult to seriously pursue. I grew up speaking Serbian in my house. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to try and learn Serbian in my adult life. And the stats support this. Studies show that the ability to learn a language is strongest until age 18, after which it drastically declines.
