1 first you need to have the motivation. knowing why you want to learn Chinese. 2 second, make a short plan and just do it! just start! pinyin is important ! the tones~~ 3 last but not the least, words-> short sentences->grammars->longer sentences, practice makes perfect. follow the audio/books and talk to native people, open your mouth and speak it loud!
