HOW DOES IT WORK?
Hiragana phonetically spells out Japanese words, whereas Katakana spells out foreign words and/or names.

The great thing about both is that they are both read the same way. For example, あ and ア are pronounced as 'a', い and イ are pronounced as i, and え and エ are pronounced as 'e'.
