What's the Difference Between Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji?

If you want to learn the Japanese language, you should start with pronunciation and reading of hiragana. Hiragana is the easiest for people who are new to the language and it is used to structure sentences around kanji (characters), which are very challenging to learn and require studying brushstroke order. Katakana is similar to hiragana (maybe easier) and is used for borrowed words from other languages (English, French, etc.). Start by learning hiragana and studying its pronunciation from a reputable source.
