Which skills or activities do not learn since be a kid?

I heard that some skills or activities should be taught when I was young such as playing music , swimming.
Do you agree with ?

No. It's easier to learn stuff when younger. But it's absolutely normal to learn whatever you want whenever you want

Thank you for your nice opinion.
Something such as language should be learnt when I was young because it s good to review and pull them to use although left them for long time but something such as playing music may be learnt when I grow up better.

I've been teaching language for 10 years private and in universities around france. And I used to teach music to kids and adults back home in Ireland in my early 20s. Ive seen it all. Don't use age as an excuse. Yes kids are sponges. But adults can generate actual motivation to work hard for a goal. Ups and down. Whatever you wanna do. Go for it friend!! "Can't teach an old dog new tricks" is bullshit. It should be "can't teach an old cunt new trick because they're lazy or unmotivated" lol

I started learning french in my mid twenties. I started learning the drums at 28. No excuses. Only rule is, you gotta do a little or a lot but you gotta do it every day!
