"Completely unrelated to language learning"? If you're a baby, yes. Adults don't have native-speaking mommies and daddies interacting with them 24/7.

Replying to @david__moser
The point is the writing system is a time sink with no equivalent in any other language except Japanese. You can learn the English alphabet or hiragana or how to connect Arabic letters pretty quickly and be done with it, you don't need to waste a decade memorizing shapes.
