I studied French when I was 23 years old and lived in Madagascar for 18 years where French was a second language which I rarely used. I have family members who speak French and I am doing on-line courses so I can more fluently speak with them. I am 88 years old and am involved in a book club, a writing group, and I have done art all my live and continue to do so. I am close to my children and grandchildren, some of whom live nearby. I do strength and balance training, and walk a lot.
