    Hello Evan! As far as I know, elder people in china learned Wubi input method.Because this method is based on Hanzi's strokes ,and some elder people is not good at pinyin so they learn Wubi when they learn to type. But nowadays young people almost learn pinyin so there are not many people use Wubi

    I agree with Kraut because pinyin can't without tone marks,but i think if you just come China to travel for a short time, you can focus on pinyin and speaking,but if you want to live in China for a long time, it‘s necessary to learn the simple hanzi and our grammar maybe.

    Yhea,I know that people speak English in different accent.I think Mandarin is mean the language you speak every where in China and people can understand you.When I say the different accent,I mean different province people have their own localism,and when they speak Mandarin, their tone is very different and some people can't differ some tone like,'z' and 'zh' or ’s' and 'sh'.And as far as I know, we even have different pronunciation on pinyin.

    But basically,we are all not very standard Mandarin spoken people because we are not CCTV compere，so I think you don't need to worry about that!

    Thank you Dorothy,I also think Chinese writing is crazy for an English spoken people beacause they have no any common ,but it's maybe easier for the Japanese because we have some same characters on writing.So, you can start with pronunciation,it's a good way to learn^^

    Alister's answer is very useful.Because I think most foreigners is crazy about hanzi,and they don't need  writing,unless they are going to live a long time in China.And start with pinyin can build their confidence on learning Mandarin.But you know China is a very big country and people have different accent in dirffenet province.So it's important to learn from a teacher whose Chinese is standard.
