I personally became somewhat fluent in English after my 20th birthday. Why? Because my focus actually increased.
I wanted to learn English ever since I was a kid, but I was unable to master it. I lacked focus and discipline to achieve my goal.

So yeah, I believe adults may be even more successful in learning a new language compared to kids who sometimes lack the ambition as well as the determination to learn a new language.

I’m currently learning Spanish with a language learning app, and I plan to achieve my goal in about six months’ time.
