I’m bilingual from birth and have never found languages difficult, but finding the time to put into them does get more challenging over the years.
Maybe that’s why I went with Duolingo initially. I’m not finding the language learning particularly hard even though I have twenty years on you, but I also have the benefit of having to be in a classroom four hours a day, five days a week. That is making the difference, apart from a very good teacher.
I know that in theory languages get tougher as you get older, but the teaching of languages has come leaps and bounds since I did French and Spanish at school, and my motivation has shifted too, so I’m finding things easier now than ever before.
