Yeah, the problem with japanese for a westerner is that it's really a chore... When you learn another western language you pretty quickly start catching on and understanding basic stuff, with japanese you first need to put a lot of work before you can actually use that knowledge for anything, and even then all you can understand are some basic learning texts aimed at westerners that have nothing to do with real life usage and essentially don't give you any useful language exposition.

It's just a chore, so you need a good reason to do it, or you'll start skipping it and give up eventually.
