I just didn't think anyone older than that would want to do the survey... Sorry! |

Interesting that you would think that! Learning is over by age 60?
I was one of the first to do your survey. Age 61. My second-language learning is now more effective and more focussed than it ever has been. Another bit of data for your project.

I completed the survey too. No mini essay on the Esperanto portion though.
I might actually learn Esperanto sometime, although right now I'm more interested in French and Spanish.
Good luck with your thesis, it certainly sounds like an interesting project.

It's not that I thought learning is over by age 60! I just intended the survey for Polish people who use the Internet and there are hardly any over 60. What's more, I first planned to send it to my friends only, and they are around 20-30.

I took it. However, I would advise you to carefully consider whether you want to use it in an MA thesis. Your sampling method is very unscientific.
