Hi! Is it too late for me to learn the accent?
Hi I would like to get answers to these questions:) I am now 14 and I started German this year in school and Duolingo and my goal is to be fluent in German in the future. Is it too late for me to learn the German accent? And is it easier for me/harder to learn German because I am Finnish?
I know English (fluently) and about Swedish I know the basics and maybe a little more :DD I study that also but studied only 1 year now so I know they will give me some benefits because German,Swedish and English has a lot of similarities because they are cousins,right?
But yeah! Thanks for all the answers and have a nice day :))
I would love to move to Germany to study in a university or something:D Still time to learn

Are you nuts? Do you think an old dog cannot learn new tricks? My mother was some 50 years old when she started learning Italian. At 75, she picked up Dutch so that she could travel to the Netherlands to visit a friend. You're not even 20, so there is a lot of time to learn German in time to study at a German university. How can I know? Well, you are Finnish and you are already fluent in a second language (English). You started with it, say, five years ago, so five years from now (more likely: two years from now) you can say that about German as well. Keep going and - first of all - enjoy German(y)
