I think we come at learning with enthusiasm and motivation and get to be out and about with people while we're at it.

That is one reason...but, as it was said by a 72 y/o student: "Two years ago I went to Barcelona and needed to pay an interpreter. No fun. "
This 72 y/o -Clarence- today speaks Spanish almost as I do...and I am a native of said language.
