You're never too old to learn.

Your never too old, some people take longer to learn, some can get it like that. You have to be really devoted to wanting to learn. I would(still do) make my own scripts in English and try my best, all day to translate them to Japanese and record my self saying them until I got it in my thick skull. ^-^

No. I didn't start learning until I was almost 14. The other people in my class had been learning it since they were 5, and I'm still better than they are at Japanese, ( That's not me bragging, it's true) I got to go to Japan because of learning Japanese, so good luck!!! ^_^

While it's true that children learn languages more readily and more fluently than adults, you're never too old to learn. You might have an accent, and you might have to work harder at it, but がんばれ! ("ganbare!", meaning "work hard!" but also "good luck!")
Me, I didn't start studying the language until I was in college, and back while I was still able to keep in practice I could carry on basic conversations fairly well. If I had kept studying since I graduated I'd probably be good enough to call myself "fluent," but sadly I've gotten rusty -- that's why I joined up here.

To walk somewhere, you put one foot in front of the other.
As long as you can speak a language, you can learn another.
Learning can be rough, but keep pushing forward, and support always helps.

No way, you're not too old! No one's ever too old to learn anything. Learning a language takes a while and not instantaneous since you have to learn everything from the writing, spelling, grammar, particles etc etc etc.

I don't think anyone is to old to learn a language. Age does not matter learning and bettering yourself has no limit in age. That would be like saying "Am I to old to learn Math" for example.

The difficulty of learning a language depends on the individual.
2 real main factors: how well you can adapt to new, complicated ideas(you build this skill mostly in school). and how much discipline you'll allow yourself.
As long as you're consistent and an active learner you'll learn it. How well you can comprehend the concept of the language's grammar depicts how quickly you'll understand it.
consistency/review is needed to log these things you've learned into your long-term memory(this is why we got used to doing word problems in school, just to ensure that you comprehended the idea and can apply it properly; also it's a small quick review)
Someone who had difficulty understanding english grammar in school will have great difficulty in Japanese since in order to learn a language you must first learn your own. Having a poor english foundation gives an even greater impedement to your Japanese. You might not notice this to be a problem until you get into more complex ideas presented to you in advanced Japanese.
I hope this helps.
