What is the difference between fu and shi?

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.

Which is used more hiragana or katakana?

Both are syllabaries, used to "spell" words rather than having a symbol that stands for a whole word or concept. Syllabaries relate to pronunciation. The Kanji characters do not. Hiragana is a syllabary used to write words of traditional Japanese origin. The same words have Kanji characters that stand for them. Katakana is a syllabary used to write borrowed words and words of foreign origin, such as names. It is more angular in appearance than Hiragana.
