Do you have a teacher or not?

Hello! I'm starting to learn how to read and write hanzi and I can read pinyin, same as you. I found this website very helpful to begin: http://www.memrise.com/ Hope it helps!

first learn 406 syllables of pinyin, then word-lists for HSK and then phrases, sentences and texts

You can buy a copybook and facsimile,if you insist long time to it you could not only write Chinese but also handwriting is very good.

It's too hard to learn it...
