Is learning Japanese language hard?
Depends on if you already know Chinese Characters. If you know the Kanji Characters, you'll find Japanese easier than a European person. Otherwise, Japanese is not one of the easier languages to learn. If you only want to learn how to speak, then it's not that bad. It's an SOV language with no male/female declensions, so it's more strait forward in that way. Reading and writing is another matter. Japanese has 3 writing systems- Hiragana (Used to be Onnade meaning "woman's hand" because when kanji came from China, the Japanese women made an easy style of writing so that they could read the kanji.) Easy to learn. Used all the time. Katakana (Used for foreign words and sometimes animal names) Easy to learn. Some are hard to remember because it's not used as often. Kanji (Characters that came from China- some were modified by the Japanese) Hard to learn because there are so many different characters and most can be read in more than one way. (Has Kun, Japanese way, and On, Chinese way, of reading a kanji)
