Definitely start by learning pinyin. I recommend yoyochinese (some of their videos are behind a paywall, but the pinyin lessons are free). Once you think you've got the general idea, find someone who speaks mandarin and polish your pronunciation. You don't need to get it perfect, just understandable. I strongly recommend getting comfortable with pinyin before you start on grammar and vocabulary. After that, there's a lot of ways you can learn. I've been using the integrated Chinese textbook series, and recommend it highly. I'm sure there are other good ones out there. You could also buy access to yoyochinese or a similar website's educational videos, or hire a tutor, or buy a program like Rosetta Stone. Or all of the above. Really, it's about finding a method that works and that you'll stick with.

Maybe from the simplest words? Like dog, cat, eat, fun...
