I always wanted to learn, but I’ve been told that being an adult will make it really tough to pick up.

It’s just like learning any language as an adult. It just takes practise and dedication! Good luck with it 🙂
I bet its not difficult. I was always curious about it too. Give it a try !!!
I learned a new language when I’m 26…
I realized what is important is you can apply what you learn. In that way, the language skill you acquired will be practical and when this happens, retention will be higher…
I have a foster sister who is deaf mute and I can only communicate with her using sign language, so I had to learn it. SInce I had to talk to her that way, I was forced to speak her language, and it worked on me.
My guess is, that it is as hard as learning any other language, meaning by far not impossible but in need of a lot of dedication and practice.
It usually takes more time as an adult than as a child. If you are truly dedicated to learning, especially if you are going to use it everyday then it should be pretty easy. Look into going to classes or getting a teacher. That way you can ask questions and learn from others, not just from a book.
Owl, even it is difficult, if its something that can improve the lives of others and make you feel good>>>>go for it! Just don’t get discouraged if it takes you a little longer to get it.
