Learning a language as an adult (4)

But babies are sponges! As adults we can’t learn the same way!

But many adults spend years immersed in the country and still make many mistakes, have bad pronunciation, and can’t use high level grammar. Some can’t speak the language at all.

I’m X years old. Can I still learn a language?

But babies take years of input to start speaking! I don’t want to wait for so long. As adults we can do things that children can’t and we should take advantage of that!
