I agree that the first two, kana, aren’t hard to learn.

But that third one, kanji, takes some work. Thousands of characters to learn and 2-6 pronunciations for each (or more, like 生). (By contrast, Mandarin characters often have a single pronunciation.) Still, you pick it up as you go. It’s fun to learn.
