pretty hard in my experience, i'm pretty bad with the grammar and stuff. i'm getting better now because i use it everyday, but there's a loooong way to go.
it really depends on the person, i know guys who just got the hang of it and are really good in spoken japanese or people who remember a kanji first time they see it. unfortunately i'm not like that 笑

If you are really visual, the written language shouldn't be too hard. I am better at that then the spoken language.
Also, depending on how dedicated you are, the easier or harder it will be. I suggest learning kana first, and throw in a few kanji at a time too. Don't try and overwork yourself. the older you get, the harder it is to learn. Help my Cause for homeless teens!

it's not too hard if you use it everyday...and I'm not saying that you have to be in japan...just making some exercices everyday and you'll learn...of course like everyone said it depends on you...I really find writing very hardXD I lerned hiragana and katakana fast but kanji confuses meXD and so my biggest problem is fluent reading...

Japanese really isnt that hard to get, its the kanji and the completely different grammar from English that makes it hard for some...me, I cant make but a couple of sentences with my knowledge, but if you study, and after a while you get used to it and can understand complete sentences and things like that...its not hard or easy though...

I think that Japanese is not really difficult, but very different from eu and middle asian languages. For example, I fluently speak eng and russian, because both of them has similiar rules. I was thinking about learning italian, but I'm too lazy for learning vocab.. Since become interested in Japan, I probably will try to learn it.

IMO, I feel that it all depends on the person. For example, with the exception of having to memorize characters since that's not common in some other languages, I'm finding Japanese much easier to learn than Spanish, but I'm still not all that great with the Japanese, and truly feel that, for me, to learn any language to my fullest is if I'm surrounded by it.

Approaching japanese by learning the "rules of grammar" first, foremost the particles;
wa, no, o, ga, ka and so on - when to use them and why. since its way easier to form sentences if you understand how you build them and why you can't write a certain way. studied for 3 weeks now and starting to get a basic grip off it... Has Claimed Aya Kamiki, mine!

If you speak a European language natively chances are Japanese is very difficult to learn. THe problem is not the kanji or the pronunciation but rather the organization of thoughts it takes to produce natural sounding Japanese. It is very different from most languages and requires a large amount of practice to become familiar with, but even then it is hard to produce in varied contexts.
I guess with practice and determination almost anyone can become conversational with Japanese. It will take time. Mastering Japanese is another story. That could be beyond what most people are willing or capable of doing.
