Ive not found age to be much of a barrier to understanding, 8 to 80+ most if not all understand what an instructior is saying. Im also convinced that too many well meaning instructiors arnt considering what the student is hearing in the language instructiors choose. When ask to "cast" a fly rod and they give you their understanding of "cast" and their understanding of "casting" comes from other types of fishing tackle......... well; you got what you asked for.
