Just by knowing kana does not give you a Japanese accent.

There is no difference between が and "ga", but there surely is between ら and "ra", おお and "oo", えい and "ei", ふ and "fu", つ and "tu", し and "si" etc.
Bad habits start in the beginning. Fixing them later gets harder every day that goes by. This is why pronunciation and kana start from Day 1.
