We, people over 40, speak EnglishIt was completely feasible and had many advantages for people over the age of 40 to learn English.
In terms of advantages, when a 40-year-old adult with zero foundation learned a foreign language, he could make full use of his mother tongue to recognize and accept another unfamiliar language, quickly find the rules of the new language, and use his mother tongue to help him in listening, speaking, reading, and understanding. And if one had enough perseverance, planning, and methods, one could learn a foreign language in a relatively short period of time. For example, among the leaders of the early Chinese government who went to the Soviet Union to study, many of them had never been exposed to Russian when they were young, but they learned Russian in a short period of time. Their successful experience was to concentrate on practicing hard and make full use of Chinese to accept, understand, and use this unfamiliar language. Most people around the age of 60 had already retired, so they had more time and energy to invest in English learning. They had rich experience and could flexibly use their mother tongue to learn foreign languages. Learning foreign languages could also maintain the continuous operation of the brain, improve memory, prevent dementia, and prevent cerebral atrophy.
In actual cases, there was a mother in her 40s who learned English from zero to communicate freely. There was also a 62-year-old cleaning aunt who learned English by herself for four years and wrote 60 English notes by hand. Of course, people over the age of 40 may also face some challenges in learning English. For example, when a 40 + mother learns English on her own, she has problems such as difficulty in continuously investing time and being sleepy easily. However, as long as these difficulties are overcome, she can still learn English well.
