In case you haven't ever tried to learn this language, while living in America, and having almost zero chances to practice, the answer to this question is a resounding "HAI!!" (That means yes in Japanese... hey I need to get in practice while I can!)
I am destined never to learn a new language. I'm in year two of Japanese, and I feel like I should still be in the first half of year one. It's so discouraging. I can usually wing my way through any class. I retain a LOT of information with little effort, and it's obvious I've taken this talent for granted because that is most definitely not how I am with Japanese. No matter how much I study, I feel like I just can't keep these dang Kanji in my brain. Or vocabulary. Or the million and a half ways to conjugate a word.
I do not have the gift of tongues. Ah well. I suppose I'll press on.

Hai, Bozo!
Cass, you may not have the gift of tongue, but you can be blessed with it. I wanted to play the piano so bad so I bought a piano and promised Heavenly Father that if I would use my musical talents, to teach the primary children diligently and with all my heart, he could bless me to play the piano. I had to practice a lot and I got better and better. I went from the very simplified hymns to now the regular hymns. I have no doubt that it was one of the miraculous tender mercies. Ask him to heighten your ability to speak a language you love and then be the best primary teacher you can be. Make an agreement with the Lord. He will give you the righteous desires of your heart eventually. Love you!
