Not Mandarin specific. This site however provides some excellent general tips for independent learners. Some very valuable ideas.

Another online language learning program. Has a subscription fee to use, though there are ample demo materials available for evaluation.

Very nice tutorial in 30 parts that presents basic vocabulary. Audio clips are included and the corresponding written character is displayed. You can click a button to see a brief animation that shows the stroke order for the character.

Handy little reference mesa, tabela that allows you to click on a Zhuyin (bopomofo) symbol, hear the correct Mandarin pronunciation and see the pinyin equivalent. Very useful for those needing to use or crossover between both phonetic systems.

While increasing numbers of foreign students grapple with the challenges of learning Chinese putonghua, or Mandarin, a senior official has said at least 40 percent of China's own population is unable to communicate in the country's official language.
