Kanji is tough indeed, but that's why hiragana is awesome. You can learn it quickly and since it covers the entire spectrum of pronunciation - you can use it to write/type any word, even if said word uses Kanji. This is how most Japanese type it anyway, since digital text input auto-convert hiragana to Kanji as you put together sentences.
