Languages

Well, English isn't my mother tongue, it's my second language and I'd say its about as good as my Dutch, which is my mother tongue.

Learning a new language isn't hard, it's just time consuming and most people don't feel like it's worth it.

As someone from a small country I am forced to learn other languages since nobody in the world would be like "Ah lets learn Dutch!". Luckily our languages is a mixture of English, French, German and some Spanish. I can pretty much understand conversations in all those languages making it easier to pick them up more proficiently.

I would say it's never to late but I can image people not willing to spend the extra time if your mother tongue is English since everybody speaks it.
