I noticed a trend among friends who want to learn Japanese: those who didn't spend a couple of weeks cementing hiragana in their minds are far more prone to giving up after a month or two. I was the same; there was no real progress for _years_ until I invested in memorizing hiragana. It wasn't a heavy investment, but it paid off.
