Only one of those is a problem.
I started learning Japanese last year, the first language I’ve ever tried to learn, - at the age of fifty one.
I’m not a natural language learner, very little sticks to this old shrivelled brain of mine, but with WK, lots of reading (Yotsuba mostly!) and plenty of hard work, I’m making progress.
Your age, @NervousJ, is one of your main advantages, all you need do is find the motivation to study really hard.
