Hiragana diacritics are surprisingly easy to learn; if you know the foundations, you should pick up quickly:

For example, if you wanted to learn how to write "pu", it would be the same as writing "fu" but with an extra circle at the top.

Zu is simply "su" with an added "; ga would be equal to "ka" with an added " as well.

All you need to remember is that every category (g, z, d, b) excluding p has a " mark, while p has a tiny o at the top. Some categories also have a slightly different one, like ji.

What is the difference between Katakana and Hiragana?

Hiragana is kind of like kanji but simplified, and usually used for words that have a Japanese origin, but it is ok to write normal words with hiragana, within reason, hiragana/katakana in normal writing is based on style. Katakana is normally and supposed to be used for foreign words and names. It is usually more angular and has more straight lines. Hiragana is used for simplifying Kanji. Most words written in hiragana in japan have kanji to represent it. You need to think about kanji too. Which is often singular complex "symbols" that represents an entire word instead of writing it out. There are thousands of kanji symbols so you don't need to focus on learning them. You will learn it through looking at culture. Of course you will need to learn some for a start anyways. There is also rōmaji. This is the romanization of the Japanese language used for writing with foreigners. What you pronounce as Japanese, put into your own ABC alphabet.
