Not Peter but I learnt Chinese First I wasted a lot of time looking for how to study Chinese. The best thing to do is to consistently practice. Don't worry about grammar. Just try learn new words everyday and then deliberately practice them with speakers. No tool will help you with this. Try to identify why you need to study Chinese. You'll learn much faster if you need rather than want to learn it.if you don't have a need try to create one. Learning characters is much easier than you think. The hard part about Chinese for me is the pronunciation and when you finally get good enough to hold conversations understanding that people don't say what they mean.
