Hilariously enough, in Japan it kinda sorta works not really but ish... They have so many loan words from English that if you just say an English word in a Japanese accent it might be the right one. Like the word for print is purinto, hotel is hotelu (hoteru), and camera is kamera.
If you learn the katakana alphabet, most signs and menus in Japan are like this. They're just English words approximated to sounds in Japanese speech.
It's like, 70 characters. Not huge at all.
It's surprisingly doable. If you have a free weekend you can learn all of them. Even one day may be enough if you are dedicated and a quick learner. Of course, repetition is a must if you don't want to forget them again, but the initial investment is really not that big.

This resource suggests mnemonics which are surprisingly effective. They teach hiragana first, but it's not a hard requirement if you want to learn katakana exclusively.
