In order to learn how to read and write Japanese there are 3 main categories:
HIRAGANA (ひらがな): letters and words is originally made from Japan and you will learn it in Kindergarten. EXAMPLE: はな (flower in japanese)
KATAKANA (カタカナ): letters is originally made up by Japan however the meaning of the word is NOT from Japan. EXAMPLE: かなだ would turn into カナダ because the word (Canada)(ROMAJI: kanada) is NOT japanese. You will also learn this in kindergarten
KANJI (漢字): Letters are made up in China however meaning is both chinese and japanese EXAMPLE: はな would turn into 花 (flower)(romaji:hana) and 花 also means flower in chinese
ONE THAT ALMOST EVERYONE USES IS ROMAJI:
Romaji is used by mostly Anime fans like kawaii or Arigato. But Japanese people mostly use it for computers cause i doubt that theres a computer with japanese lettering XD EXAMPLE:
kawaii > かわいいA/N SORRY IF THIS PART IS LAME BUT ITS REALLLYYY IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND YES I CAN BE A LAZY BUTT SOMETIMES SO JUST BEAR WITH ME!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
