If you're not planning to learn to write by hand (only type on computer) then you should only learn how to pronounce it, how to write it in pinyin, and how to recognize a character when you see it.
It does not make your task much different from that of other learners. You need to learn all the same things anyone else should, just minus writing by hand. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Sakanage, you may be interested in checking out my Mandarin-learning experiment, at
www.mandarinexperiment.com, for some ideas. Watching Qiao Hu is a good way to get started, and I have developed several Study Guides that may help just a bit. There is a description of the project in Brazilian Portuguese and será um prazer trocar ideias com você em português se você preferir. In addition to watching movies and children's shows, as I do, I would highly recommend taking Skype classes or finding Chinese people interested in chatting with voice over the Internet. As to studying characters or pinyin, I'm no authority on the subject and I'm doing neither. If you want faster short-term results, I would definitely go with pinyin. If you want to master the language over the long term, I would study characters (just reading, not writing) from the outset, along with a lot of videos and conversation with native speakers. There are people on this forum with sophisticated methods that may be very helpful to get you started. I highly recommend emk's detailed description of the use of subs2srs in this thread.
