pinyin->spoken language
The characters are the most challenging part of Chinese.

Definitely pinyin and some basic spoken Chinese first, but I suggest you start learning the characters quickly! The way I learned them was using the book "Remembering Simplified Hanzi" (or "Remembering Traditional Hanzi", depending if you want to learn simplified or traditional characters) by James Heisig and Timothy Richardson. It is a great book... I've been studying Chinese for only a couple years and I already know about 2200 characters.

pinyin first. It is as important as the 26 letters in English. Good luck!
