I started teaching myself German when I was 13 because my then middle school didn't offer it. My German is now almost as good as my English and I get to use it for work almost every day. But I still listen to German news and talk radio on an iPhone app to keep the chops up. It's never been easier to learn with all that's available online. I watched a long series on German job interviews for my current job, spent countless hours on that. When the Skype interview came, it consisted of, "How much do you need and when can you start?" But it was fun research.
