One thing to think about: I never found learning the kana too difficult,
but what I have found difficult is reading hiragana written in Japanese
cursive calligraphy style. Some things you can figure out from how
hiragana look normally, but some things you just have to be told from
someone who knows how to read it already.
As I have been told by a Japanese friend of mine whose mother does a lot
of Japanese calligraphy (cursive/sosho), not even Japanese folks can
read the cursive style [well] unless they've been trained in it.
