From Geoffrey Withington
At the age of 25, I learned to speak Russian; but at the age of 43 I was forced to learn Dutch while at the same time taking a crash refresher course to upgrade my schoolboy French. This was a result of moving to bilingual Belgium for work.
I had no difficulty, and found learning Dutch to be both useful and very interesting. I see no reason why older people shouldn’t while away winter evenings learning a new language.
