    I can have a 2-hour-long conversation in Finnish, German, English, Ukrainian, Latvian, Estonian, Polish, Swedish, Spanish, Russian, Dutch and Lithuanian.

    I do not think you’re right in your claim that I’d struggle learning one more language as an adult.

    It’s also a myth that children learn languages faster. It takes them about 5 or 6 years to learn their native language at a level we adults would call “fluent”. An adult can do the same in some two years if they have an active approach to the learning.

    There is a technique about learning languages. Learn that and learning languages becomes quick.
