@nolex....if you do not like kanji ...or still not proficient with it...you should learn when to use hiragana or katakana....

Katakana is used for words of foreign origin. For example atong mga names kay di man hinapon so we have to use Katakana. Brand of cars like Ford, Audi , Mercedes Benz etc....or any other foreign words used should be written in Katakana.

Hiragana can be used in place or in combination with Kanji.

hope this helps.

[samokan]

its also important to actually know the kanji, because there are some words wherein the hiragana is the same but the meaning is different because the kanji is different.

example: kinou

昨日　-　きのう
機能　-　きのう

the first one means yesterday, the second one means functionality.
