My Dad was over in Japan around the end of the Korean War and loved the
place, brought back some Japanese words/phrases and still says something on
a rare occasion.  Because of that one of my neices took a Japanese language
class.  Something I never considered would be easy despite them, and now
you, saying so.
Actually, it's not so much the speaking it that deters me it's the writing.
I dare not stray from the Roman alphabet and it's varied forms  :-)
