At 60+, I tried learning Japanese with my 20+ daughter - she bounded ahead,
with other young ones, while a copuple of us seniors wilted and retired,
hurt.
In China I learnt a little Mandarin, simply because I was there and had to.
It is rapidly disappearing ...
That's why I urge Kasper to learn while he is young - it is just so much
easier then!
