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.

The same way kids learn to what the squiggles we call

english mean?

 

took me 8 months to learn, about 2 years to be relatively fluent, another year or so to pick up dialect differences for the various regions and slang, but now I can read/speak Japanese as good as I can for my native language.

learning by being a web and watching anime will never work.
