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..
