what are some of the basic kanji's used in Japanese and how do you know when to use them? i know that when writing japanese, there is a mixture of Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. i'm trying to figure out which words should be in kanji and which should not. i was told that kanji are used for nouns (moon, bank, library), hiragana is used for verb inflection and katakana is used for forgien languages. i don't know if any of that is right but i'm trying ><
