You can see some Chinese movies which maybe can help you to learn Chinese

no letters but pictograph like the uneiform ， and chinese is a analytical language ， so much auxiliary word should be used ，and the word order is fixxed strictly 。

Only Pinyin method using letters. (eg. ni hao, xie xie)

first, the pronunciation (in chinese,it is pingyin): learn pronunciation of 26 letters; and for one word,the pronuciation is consist of initial and final,so you should learn to pindu innitial and final together.Pronunciation table is good for u second,for the chinese character (in chinese,it is hanzi): xinhua dictionary will be helpful to learn deep but need your time to remrember third, for expression (in chinese, it is ciyu): bilingual dictionary will be useful forth, for the sentence(in chinese,it is juzi): you sholud learn the grammar of chinese, which has some common ground to english. above mentioned can help u learn deeper, however,the article(in chinese, it is wenzhang) will be most difficulty. good luck!
