Mandarin Chinese

Just started tackling this language yesterday.  I am using a mixture of Rosetta Stone and the Pimsleur method.

Anyone have any tips, programs, or methods?

Just looking for any extra help where I can get it.  Thanks. :)

You're joking right? Japanese is as good as dead. All they do now is japanify English words. Kurisumasu, garufurendo and my favorite: "kissu".
