Chinese is originally up to down, but they also write left to right.
The chinese characters are just another level of vocabulary you have to learn. Not only how a word is spoken, but also how it is written. The symbols itself can be broken down into radicals that look always the same, so a character is basically a composition of radicals and some additional lines. I wouldn't say it is easy, but it is definitely manageable.
