The prime age to learn any language is before age eight. That is the age where if you don't speak a language (as in the cases of some severely abused children who were not spoken to and did not learn to speak) then it is nearly impossible to teach you. However, once you have learned the basics of any language you can learn to speak another, regardless of your age. Being musically gifted or having had musical training aids you in learning language. Mostly, it's a question of how much effort you put into it and the methods you use. Learning is for any age, it's the best way to keep your mind sharp and to stay young. Go learn!

Sure, I think you can. All you have to do, is want to do it bad enough, and study real hard. Of course, you'll need alot of patience. If you have that, then you should do just fine. Take care.
