I started by learning the nouns and verbs. think of all the things you do in daily life and try to find the chinese words for them. then start to learn the grammar structure (which by the way I think does get complicated in later study). Also it is very important to understand the pinyin system. once you understand that, it helps in looking up words.

Well, in China, Chinese people learning the pin yin first. I guess u should first know the tones, there are four tones. and then practice. When people talk with u ,you can learn how to speak instead of learning how to write. Then, You can learn some daily life words. No need to hurry with a whole sentense and struggling with the structure. You can learn the words and two words together. hehe, calculate more words, then very soon , u will realize that you are on your way ! gaga

You can learn some Chinese cultures first,because when you learn Chinese ,you will find there are many differences between English and and Chinese.If you know the culture,you will find it is very interesting .So you can find happyness from the Chinese.I think it is very important. Someone said that you can learn pinyin first ,I don't think so,because when I was child who can't speak something,my mother didn't teach me the pinyin frist.Well ,you know,when you learn English ,the frist word you spoke was "Hello",not agmas.Do you agree with me. I want to have a friend who can speak English .Can we become friends?I can teach you something about China and Chinese.
