What I don't get is how the hell can you ever learn to read Japanese or Chinese. Just a bunch of weird looking symbols. Plus don't they write up and down or right to left or some weird shit like that.

They read reveresed. Just like if you used a car in the US, to UK. You'd get use to it. They can also read from up to down. We can do that too.

it

just

takes

practice.

Each symbol does mean various leters, words etc. Digimon's character names can be a useful tool, in learning how they use Katakana, to spell out english worlds. These symbols always mean mon モ(mo)ン(n). ア(a)グ(gu)モ(mo)ン(n). The other types. Hiragana etc. Are harder. But, function in a simliar way. With a ton of rules. Depending how you write something out. They also say and spell things out phonetically. And use different voul sounds, for letters. V usually sounds like a b. This would be Angemon アンワン. If it was spelled as it's said. But, this is incorrect. They spell things out phonetically. It would be エンジモン (Enjeimon). That affects things too. English is a cake walk. Compared to Japanese. But, it's not impossible to understand it.
