I started doing Capoeira and learning Portuguese with 40 years. I am fluent in Portuguese now after three years. My Capoeira skills are still pretty basic, but I progress and for the first time in my life I feel like I really have a grasp on any kind of sports.

I also changed from marketing to IT last year and I am getting really good at what I do.

It helps if you have a reference system for your new knowledge. I studied computer science which helps in my new job and I had French in school which helps with Portuguese.

So don't worry. Keep learning, avoid stress and drugs and prioritize getting enough sleep. You'll be fine!
