    Not never

    But yeah, if you’re not learning it young you’re super far behind and might never catch up.

    For this it would need to be taken even further though, you’d need people at least 25 who had never been exposed to language in any way. Most feral children are found after just a few years in the wild. I don’t think there’s ever been an adult human that never was exposes to language and then reintegrated.
