Pinyin is usually taught first. It would be too overwhelming to learn characters first.
Where should i start learning chinese first from?

It's up to your goal and the background you're from.
Let's say you were forcused on reading, and you'from Japan,then characters will be the better choice.

Pinyin.
But
As a non native speaker who studied Chinese for more than five years, I would recommend you to find a good teacher at first. It might be a better way yo study Chinese in the start of your way, I think.

Pinyin is the fundamental, so I think you should start from pinyin!

I know everyone else has said it already, but the first thing you should do is learn piniyin if you're trying to learn Mandarin and are interested in going to the Mainland. If you want to go to Taiwan, you may want to learn zhuyin fuhao (bo po mo fo) because many Taiwanese textbooks use that.
Either way, you need to learn some reliable system to help you learn the pronunciation, since looking at a character (for a non-native) gives little to no information on how to pronounce it, and learning a standardized romanization method (such as pinyin for Mandarin or jyutping for Cantonese) will allow you to use external resources and understand them.

Could someone share with me the Integrated Chinese, Character Workbooks, Level 3 and 4? I would really appreciate it!hello, is anyone have easy steps to chinese book's link?I just discovered the Chinese Track podcasts and went through the first 4 lessons and I really like the way that it's done so far:
https://www.chinesetrack.com/podcast-feeds/
It's easy to listen to, it's free, and it's really cool the way that each lesson builds on the one before, introducing you to new vocabulary, but also using that vocabulary in future lessons so that you remember it.
I haven't gone very far through it, but so far it's the best introduction I've found.I uploaded "Hello - Chinese Culture - Cool Panda 1A", enjoy it.
