What do I think about old people learning new things? Well, I think it's an amazing thing and if I get to be an elder one day I definitely want to be one of those people. This question comes in handy especially as far as language learning is concerned. It's very common to see people who are not really old saying that they can't learn things such as languages because they are too old for it. In my view, that is just an excuse. It may be possible that adults don't learn the same way as children do, but we are still capable to learn. One very good example on how we can still learn things even at old age is the polyglot Steve Kaufmann, who has an understanding of roughly 20 languages, many of which he speaks fluently. Steve is still learning languages even at the age of 75 and didn't learn hard languages such as Russian by the age of 60. For those who are curious, I encourage you to go on his youtube channel and check some of his videos - it's definitely motivating.
