Is it hard to learn Japanese

I wanna learn how but I'm afraid, mostly from the different characters.

I'm not German, although I've studied it in middle school. The sounds of German and Japanese are close; for example, you'd pronounce 'a' and 'e' and 'k' the same way in both languages.

However, the accents themselves are completely different. The Japanese accent resembles Italian and Finnish more.
