http://www.chineseocw.com/ Modern public domain Mandarin Chinese Textbook and Audio.
Check out Assimil's course, the text is written in both Hanzi and Pinyin.

There are a ton of resources for learning Mandarin; maybe ten years ago I would have said
it was impossible(very difficult) to learning without characters. Today not so much,
there are many books on amazon.com transcribed entirely in pinyin and there are at least
six or seven big podcast websites that provide pinyin PDF files. I am going to
concentrate on speaking. I would like to learn some basic characters (about a thousand)
but I really don't think I need them per-say

Would happen to know any of these podcast sites on the top of your head? :)
