well… at first i thought it was quite difficult ‘cause i had lots of school work to do and i never had the time to study it. but now, now that i moved to a new school that actually teaches japanese, i feel more committed to it. so yeah, if you truly want to learn japanese, i recommend you try and study it. but if you don’t have time to, you can always study it later. you don’t need to be rushed into it.
