I am just a begginer. I finished learning Hiragana . Now , I am learning
Katakana . I realized that they are same. So that made me worry a little . How
do I decide which one to choose ? Are there any words that you cant use
katakana instead of hiragana or hiragana instead of katakana letters in them ?
Also, If write it like that will Japanese people can understand what I meant ?

question
katakana hiragana
What is the diffrence between hiragana and katakana?
Words of non-Chinese foreign origin are generally written in katakana, for one
thing. Besides that, there a few Japanese words it's quite common to write in
katakana, such as オシャレ and ダメ. In some works of fiction, a character's
dialogue may be written in katakana to project a 'robotic' or 'otherworldly'
tone.

answer
Hiragana is used for spelling out Japanese words, and katakana is for words
that were adopted from other languages.

While you could write everything with just hiragana and katakana, using kanji
makes your text less vague, as with phonetic spelling, your text could be
potentially interpreted in many different ways.
