I personally find the strokes very complicated to master. I'm writing in reference to hiragana, since I've just started attending classes. The order of strokes in Japanese characters can be similar to Chinese characters, which makes it a tad easier for us to overcome the order bit. What I find difficult is the almost congruent-like strokes when juxtaposing one Japanese character with another. Japanese also has many cursive and intertwining strokes, which make it harder to perceive, for people unaccustomed to the language.

In emphasized pertinence to Romaji, my teacher said there are special highlights and pitches with which one should enunciate the words. But I digress. To date, I'm still full of questions, though I understand the foundation of the writing system now.
