Given the success of foreign exchange students, I'm willing to bet the age factor is much less important than people claim.

People bring up the abused or abandoned children that had trouble learning to speak when introduced to society later in life, but usually fail to mention the reason they were neglected/abandoned as children was due to mental disabilities, so they aren't really a viable data point.

Adults that pick up new languages are rarely native fluent though.
