I was forced by work/service, and only then did my own interest arise, and as a result, I speak nine languages, some of which are very rare, and understand the related ones quite well. Children born and raised in a Russian-speaking environment began to speak different languages, foreign ones. Perhaps because Dad sometimes spoke to someone else in foreign languages. But when the children grew up, they began to learn languages themselves and difficulties arose - they needed proof that their first words were foreign, and meaningful and correct. Fortunately, I recorded a lot of videos ;)

I suppose learning a language is like learning to play the piano. Some pick
 it up easier and quicker than others. YMMV fits well here. In the future if
 I ever need to speak to a non-English speaker I'll just get an Android
 interpreter app and let my phone do the talking. Easy-Peasy. And bingo that
 also brings us back on topic...
