I knew a easy way to read Chinese character. You can find the similar pronunciation of the English word. For example, Chinese character “厨房”, in English it means "kitchen". 厨's pronunciation sounds like English word "true", 房's pronunciation sounds like English word "fun". So you can read it " true fun".

I think the best way is to read articles wrote by native speakers. and listen to some radio program or watch TV programs. During this process, you need to learn every words which unfarmilar to you. The first thing is to try to remeber lots of words and expressions, then try to talk with people and write articles to practice. That's my way to learn English, hope this helpful~
