Has anyone successfully learnt a language later in life?

I am about to try and learn Spanish initially to try and pass my Gcse this year. I am just doing an hour a day really from cds in the car etc and home text books.

Any sensible tips?

Nope.
had quite some time off due to an accident years back and decided to go for 1-1 spanish.
a month in the tutor said he wouldnt feel comfortable taking anymore money off me as i could be coming for a year and be no further on

If you’ve already got knowledge of the workings of one foreign language, it’s easy to learn others. The hard part is remembering them!

It’s a difficult one apparently
Our sales guy gave up 6 months into a night class but picked up quite a bit which has helped him..
He also picked up a bird from the same class..
