It’s never too late to learn a language. However, French is one hell of a step coming from English.
French is my main language and even if I’ve been speaking it for close to 40 years now, I still learn language exceptions and rules today.
Still, I’d give it a go if I were you, learning something new is always fun. Enjoy!
French is tough, but I’d argue it isn’t that hard compared to some other languages. Grammatical gender and conjugation are a pain in the ass, but the vocabulary is very familiar to a native English-speaker because of the languages’ common history (thanks, William the Conqueror)
Im Canadian and also already have a significant french education, just never got “conversational”, def have since like age 3 exposure if only Ontarioish
If you want a rough comparison of the relative difficulty for a native English speaker to learn different languages, the US military’s Defense Language Institute’s guidelines are well-regarded, and they consider Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese to be the easiest.
