There have been studies published that say language learning after your 20s is exponentially harder, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Just understand that it might take more time, and might not come as naturally to you as you'd hope.
If you're able to learn your basics, enough to form simple sentences. You know, things like "Where is the bathroom?" "How much is this food?" "I like dogs" etc. You'll be able to start immersing yourself in Spanish at your own pace. Studies show that immersion in a language is the easiest way to learn, so that's my only real advice.
I'm trying to learn Spanish at the moment as well, I live in Texas in an area with a lot of Spanish speakers, and I'm hoping being able to speak Spanish will help me find work. So I know the struggle of learning this language too. Hell, I studied German for like 6 straight years and only got to a kindergarten level.
