Many people seem to think that learning Chinese is only done by learning and memorizing characters. Although learning Characters is one of the eventual goals, the early stages of Mandarin Chinese involve Pinyin - the most commonly used Romanized system of Mandarin Chinese.
An example would 'China'. In simplified character format, it is written 中国. You might be wondering how the hell to pronounce this! This is where Pinyin comes to the rescue. 中国 is written Zhōngguó. It's not all simple, but at least it helps to know there is another side to learning Chinese! For more info, check Pinyin Info
