I've been wanting to learn a new language for a while and in my teenage years I became very proficient in Spanish and Japanese. (I've stopped using both of them.) But, I have ADD (inattentive, no hyperactivity) so it's very difficult for me to stick to a schedule of learning for an extended period of time. In this case, I mean years. I can study every day for months but then I'll become disinterested and stop. Unfortunately with me I'm either completely obsessed or disinterested when it comes to learning.

Does anyone have ADD and learned a language anyway? How did you do it?
