As you'll see later, I don't identify myself as knowing Chinese but I'll strive to do so. Japanese is another interesting language and is the one I know before Chinese, so the approach I use may based a bit on Japanese.
My chinese thing is for the one without basic and the one with basic. Yeah, not knowing any chinese is fine. Just try to learn along. The target audience may be English speaker or Thai speaker, since I am Thai.
To aid memorization, I will group the words and hope you'll remember it with purely visual and auditory (most probably, you'll have to read the word yourself to make you yourself remember.) No, you don't have to remember it all, just try using it.
Sorry, NO PINYIN. If you want one, find it at www.pin1yin1.com and nciku.com. And if you want translation from your native language to Chinese, try translate.google.com.
My native language is Thai and I somewhat have a basic on the four tones. If you are also Thai, I suggest you remember the third tone in Chinese as both เสียงเอก and เสียงจัตวา. For westerners, you probably need to think of longer and shorter tones, and try to sing a musical voice and listen a lot.
One of the place you can learn mandarin and sound file (e.g. *.mp3) is mandarin.about.com and it is free. You can find many resources and learn Chinese in that website too.
