Is it hard?

It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

Hiragana would be more useful, but then learn katakana right afterward. A lot of the symbols look similar, so it makes kana easier to learn as a whole.

Hiragana can be used to write out all authentic Japanese words, and if you find documents with furigana (little hiragana on top of kanji), then you can begin to struggle through and translate the kanji.

actually, its easiest to learn a language when you're little. You can get used to it easier and grow up w/ it. When u get older, its all about memorising and hoping it'll stay there in that big brain of yours.
Like for chinese, i grew up w/ it and can just understand it and all. But learning Japanese isn't easy since I'm not used to it (goodness, i better start now...)

Of course, thats how I think it is. Basically, its easier to start w/ a language as early as possible.
