Actually pronaunciation can help learn a language, since you will be able to grasp what other people talk much faster and connect it to what you've already learned. So, the effect of everyone talking around is multiplied by a lot.
Though (while I'm not really sure about this at all), I think Finnish and Japanese languages have more similarities than that, making learning the language even easier.
Finnish is pretty useless language in overal, especially compared to how hard it is to learn, but if you're interested, then why not? You can easily impress Finnish people by talking their language, and the girls like foreigners a lot (though, that doesn't require to learn Finnish, since most can speak English in Finland anyway).
I think Finnish usually considered to be one of the hardest languages because it belongs into a language family that is not very much spread. So, it's quite unlike most languages spoken in the world.
