Hiragana and Katakana are easy to learn, although Katakana is a slightly more difficult for having combinations that don't really exist in Hiragana for katakana is for loaned woards (ex.　ウィ wi and ウェ we). The hardest alphabet is 漢字 Kanji, modified Chinese characters. There are about 2000 kanji used in everyday life and learning those in a place where you don't use them is difficult. Before I decided on Japanese I looked into Korean but the pronunciation was terrible, the ᄀ (k) is so soft it kind of sounds like a g and ᄇ (t) that is so soft it's like a d. I looked into Chinese but too many characters.
