Sounds like just learning to read would be a better use of your time then. I mean if you already speak the language it should be fairly trivial, right?
I literally started with “When I first moved to Japan”.
To answer your question, though, learning to read Kanji is not trivial especially when each one can have a number of different pronunciations or appear in compounds where the meaning can be quite different.
You do realise that in Japan they don’t use Roman letters?! Sounds are one thing, a pictorial based writing system quite another! Just as in English, the same sounding word can mean several things, so the same spelt word can mean several things in Asian languages!
