Hi there,
I think the oldest Rocket Languages member is 91, and he is doing really well.
There is no age limit, you can start learning a language when you are 10, 50, 70 or even 90.
If you are highly motivated and have spare time to devote to it you will be able to learn any language.
Spending time in France will certainly help, being exposed to it every day and having to use it is a great motivation to really pick it up.
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks
Claire

Hi, You're never too old, I am 53 and moh is 64 and we're learning. Living in France, as we do now, does help. Hope all goes well for you.

Salut à tout le monde!
Practice is the key for a successful learning!
Have you ever been to France?
A good start will be a holiday so you will be able to practice your French and learn a bit more about the culture.
All the best!
:)
