If I could go back in time, then I'd have put more effort into learning a second language back when I was in high school. I do know a bit of French, though!

My focus back then was on sporty and adventurous stuff like running, climbing and fishing. I suppose not much has changed in that regard...other than ditching the fishing.

Never too late. I've tried to learn languages on my own. The issue I run into is I simply get bored, and just stop doing it altogether. I'd like to make the excuse that it was due to it being fairly difficult to find materials to immerse myself in the language (German), but that's not really it. I just give up after a couple months. I should actually get back to it, since I did learn the basics regardless. Pronunciation can be a hurdle in and of itself for a lot of Americans..
