“The rest” won’t necessarily “come easy”, but it will be easier, simply because you’ll be able to understand what the kanji represent, and how to read them. But being able to see kanji and know what they mean doesn’t necessarily help with things like grammar, pronunciation, listening, etc., all of which will bring their own obstacles.
Showoff. But idc, 'cause me and @jprspereira speak 8 languages, combined, if you include the language of love, so, take that…
Assuming at least 1 or 2 more of the languages you speak are Latin-based languages, and speaking 2 of them myself, I can confirm that Japanese grammar is actually easier than the grammar of those languages. But it of course depends on how advanced you’re willing to go. Because of the way Japanese is structured, Japanese sentences can be as simple as one verb – most other languages don’t allow this. But when you get into advanced tenses and conjugations, that’s where things begin to separate. Romance languages are more difficult, in my opinion, because most words have distinguished genders and their articles have quantities, whereas in Japanese, you can simply say 犬は大きいです。 OR 犬は大きいです。 (the exact same sentence) and have it either mean “the dog (1) is big” or “the dogs (multiple) are big”, with the distinction being made based on context. In Italian, for example, the same two sentences would have to be “il cane è grande.” “i cani sono grandi.” If either of the articles don’t reflect the right gender or quantity, the sentence would be grammatically incorrect.
At any rate, every language has its own difficulties. In terms of Japanese, listening is one of the most difficult parts for me. Reading has become easier and easier, though production (formulating my own sentences) is still a struggle.
EDIT: to answer the question in the title of your thread: no. Kanji learning is actually quite easy, when you stick to a system like SRS/WK. It may become difficult once you plow through WK and still need to learn more, because you’ll have to do it on your own, but if you even make it to that point, I think your self-motivation will carry you into the post-WK era quite nicely.
