well, more importantly, it's easier for young children to learn languages. I mean, I've seen people learn to juggle five balls at 50+ just as quickly as people much younger. But yeah, it's totally easier for people to learn languages when they're young. Like, my mom was fluent in spanish and english at about age 5, but when she moved to the US from mexico, she stopped using the spanish and had to work for years to get to a manageable level (although she sounds good to me, she says she still isn't fluent).

Anyway, that got kind of off topic. Sorry about that. I am only just beginning my journey of learning japanese. I have begun to make hiragana flash cards, and I'm going to buy some learning materials soon and get some serious work done, alone, this upcoming school year. Then the next school year I will study the language at a university, if all goes according to plan.
