I am on the brink of signing up for a babbel course to learn Danish. I'm going to Copenhagen later in the year. I speak Spanish fluently and I learnt a smattering of Irish at school. I can read French, so, I am all enthused thinking oooooh I can't wait to learn Danish. However I then remember I am in my 40s and it might be a bit different from when I decided to learn Spanish and I just did learn it because I decided to. I fear it will be different this time. I will put in the effort. But am I just delusional thinking I can learn a new language in my forties without living in that country? Danish doesn't seem that hard compared to Irish though, so I don't buy that it's 'too hard to learn'. I just wonder if my brain is going to be wired up differently now (ie, faultily)

Any linguists here? When are you just too old to learn another language?
