I'd guess it's the "learned when I was younger" part that made the difference.
- davidw 17y agoI studied German when I was younger (middle school/high school), and Italian a bit later (college), and Italian is definitely easier (though no language is easy).
- wheels 17y agoThe difference was Spanish at 14, German at 21. From a language learning perspective 14 is already past the age where there's much innate.
