It’s never too late to learn a language. However, French is one hell of a step coming from English.
French is my main language and even if I’ve been speaking it for close to 40 years now, I still learn language exceptions and rules today.
Still, I’d give it a go if I were you, learning something new is always fun. Enjoy!
If you want a rough comparison of the relative difficulty for a native English speaker to learn different languages, the US military’s Defense Language Institute’s guidelines are well-regarded, and they consider Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese to be the easiest.
French is tough, but I’d argue it isn’t that hard compared to some other languages. Grammatical gender and conjugation are a pain in the ass, but the vocabulary is very familiar to a native English-speaker because of the languages’ common history (thanks, William the Conqueror)
