To be honest, you'd probably be better off with a book or something. Most of the internet stuff is pretty unreliable. The table you've got up there, katakana, is used to represent foreign names and words. If you've just started learning Japanese then you need to start with kanji or hiragana, which are the core meanings of words and how to link them together.

Seeing as I only speak about fifteen words in Japanese I have no idea whether the table up there is right. Good luck.
