Haha can you read Japanese though? It's beautiful for sure and it even feels a little different when reading it as if you're, in a way, sorta sounding about pictures. But man is it a pain in the butt to learn!
I started out learning Japanese because I liked Japanese culture like a lot of people and never was a "language guy", but at some point I just got addicted to learning kanji. When you can start to just guess what a Kanji means and you don't even know why that's such a satisfying experience.
You speak German and English, so you can probably appreciate that you can "generally" understand other European languages even if you don't speak them if they share a common root like Latin. Kanji is like that.
でもやはり高低アクセントはもっと苦しいと思います。あれは無理ですww
