If I'm over 25, is it still too late for me to "learn" French or can I just watch French sitcoms for like a year and be up-to-speed? (lemmy.world)

The more languages you know the better that system might work I guess, like if you know German then French will we (somewhat) easier because you have already bent your brain to accept the conjugation system. If you know Italian or maybe any other language you'd be used to build phrases in other ways (like backwards sort of).

That must be true, because all of the courses I mentioned are taught by the same person, who also developed them!
