An infographic I found once regarding approximate time to learn a language for English speakers.

> I have yet to meet a single person who speaks a second language without an accent who began their study as an adult.

I've met a couple, but they're indeed very rare. Although English may not have been their second language, it may have been more like 4 or 5, perhaps that made a difference.
