I can tell you my son's method.He is 5 years old and he can speak fluent Mandarin now.

He learn Mandarin characters from cartoons with Mandarin subtitle on TV.Now he can read some children's books himself inspite of some mistakes but not much.Becuse he can guess.

But,when he was 4 years old ,he hate foreign cartoon films with Mandarin subtitle as he could not understand both the audios and the subtitles.

I don't think it is  a good way for non-native Chinese speakers to study Mandarin  characters because you have to be a fluent speaker of Chinese first.

By the way ,if you do not need to pass a Chinese exam you don't have to learn Mandarin  characters. If I need to write something on paper ,sometimes I have to type some characters on my phone's screen as I cannot recollect how to wirte them.

Hello, I am a Chinese girl, reading your words, I think you can try to write some in Chinese.

Even though it is written in English, you would be better to categorise it as Chinese, or ask the question under 'Answers', I feel. 老鬼
