Is there anything wrong with studying a "difficult language" like Mandarin as a second language?

Native english monolingual here with a desire to learn Mandarin. I've heard many people say it's very difficult. Is there any reason I should study a second i.e. another latin language for a few years first before attempting to study Mandarin or would that be of no benefit to my learning process?
