Steps of learning Chinese

This is the way kindergarten in China taught me Chinese First you learn pronunciations, pinyin. Start with the 4 tones and the actual half English thing Then you learn basic characters. They are either made from 2 or more smaller characters or a small character In primary school we had to do poems, skip that stuff it's useless Back to characters, start with numbers, move to colours. Once you get rid of your accent try to talk to people if you get to visit China. This will be very helpful. When you get the hang of writing Chinese characters and character structures, learning new characters should be a piece of cake. There are 3000 characters used in normal life. Remember learning characters need to go after learning to talk, ie learning to talk is more important

You can memorize characters better by remembering strokes orders and structure rather than remembering them as an image
