I haven't tried it myself, but the Pimsleur method is the classic audio-only course, and I've heard they offer MP3 purchases, though I've also heard it's expensive compared to their subscription model.

Yep, from scratch. I guess that's one way to go about it, do you know if the course is good? I'll give it a shot. Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
Of course writing is an entirely other kettle of fish, probably the only reasonable way through that would be pinyin, but spoken language would be a good start.

Immersive Chinese is value for money. There are some free lessons via the Lesson Console link on the website. immersivechinese.com/
It's good to hear what tone 1 sounds like after tone 2 vs. tone 3, etc. This website is a list of audio for all the tone pair permutations. sinosplice.com/learn-chinese/t…
Pinyin Charts Use the following charts with the method previously described. This page is also available in Chinese characters. The downloadable version includes English translations.
pretty much any options that work with your learning strategy. As long as the characters are read properly by your screen reader (which means get a Mandarin/Simplified Chinese TTS that's actually good), and set your braille display to a similar braille table if you use one, and just ...use whatever. It's relatively rare these days that web-based courses use images of characters these days, that's more of a problem in textbooks
What synths are there that work though? Also is there a place where I can get info on the braille table? I don't know anything about it, or which sites are good.

in reply to modulux • • •I will try out the free lesson on the Pimsleur Mandarin page and let you know what I think.
There are much cheaper resources I'd usually recommend to beginners, but I don't know if they're accessible. Should I list them anyway?
