That comes down to evolving interests too. Maybe the way to get to latin quicker was a bridge that wasn't present. Or you just didn't really appreciate languages until you had to have a particular set of experiences. We change too. So learning something which we don't like because we might like it some day doesn't really work (even if that's how school pretty much operates). Music is a great example. A lot of kids are pushed hard to do well in very structured music classes and they become fluent players but so many just fall out of love with it.
