Learning a language
I think is very difficult to learn a second language when you are old. When are young our brain is like a sponge, absorbs everything. In my opinion, speaking is very hard because there are sounds that we have never used before. I put a goal that I need to improve my English as soon as possible. So I try to practice English everyday. My weaknesses are speaking and writing and because this I start here. I hope my experience on this website will be great.

Learning a language
I think it is very difficult to learn a second language when you are old. When we are young our brain is like a sponge; it absorbs everything. In my opinion, speaking is very hard because there are sounds that we have never used (or made) before. I made a goal that I need to improve my English as soon as possible. So I try to practice English everyday. My weaknesses are speaking and writing and because of this I start here. I hope my experience on this website will be great. It has taken 2 years of intermittent pratice but i am an older adult and i can now make the Spanish "rr" sound.1

I think this observation is particularly true for learning English from the perspective of someone whose native language has a more limited range of vowels. I still have a difficult time with the open o and nasal vowels in Portuguese, and these are basically the only sounds I need to learn as a native English speaker and speaker of Spanish!
Good luck!
