It's nice enough already ithat you're interested. But let me put it this way. Try aiming to think positively first, "Yes, it's not impossible. I can do it." Then try to connect English to Chinese, so that it doesn't look so intimidating because there are many more similarities than you may think. wink
In the most basic of sentences, it's just like English. Maybe starting with simpler structures would be better. For instance, the commands and one worded answers.
Commands.
"Zhou!" - "Leave!"
"Lai." - "Come."
One word answers.
"No!" - "Bu!" or "Bu yao!"
"Yes!" - "Hao!"
More complex structures will need subjects, verbs and objects eventually. Like I said, it's not so different in the sense that we share many of the same parts of speech and tenses. It's the order that gets people... But if you ask me, I find English grammar a lot harder.
I'm taking Latin 3 right now, so I can assure you that learning a new language IS hard. With some practice and understanding though, I'm pretty sure your Chinese will get better. biggrin
