Hi, krishnandu & clmlbx, i have provided some links to start with, see if you like. Chinese is straight forward language, but not easy to learn.. you will have to memorize a lot of characters and then they speak using tone and a bit in a fast pace, so you will have to work about it a lot.
If you find time to practice 3 times a week with 2 hrs session each, try to sit with a copybook and pencil . This way I hope it will take you to a certain position after 1 year, where Chinese writing will start to look a bit much familiar. You may ask me when you have questions, I will try to answer with whatever little knowledge I have.

So, you know mandarin right ? would you like to guide interested people in here ?
@nims11,freshseason
Very interested huh ? lets learn together then ? I am following the above mentioned link, its very nice, easy and elaborated - even though Japanese gets very difficult when it comes to advancement in writing. However, speaking part is not that difficult. You will basically have to learn few pages of basic grammar and sentence structure and build up you vocabs through any materials you find. Japanese Pops, animes, mangas are quite popular, so this should not be much of a problem.
When it come to writing/reading, there are 3 kinds of scripts - hiragana, katakana & kanji. Hiragana is like plain English, but has more characters, you can write most Japanese words with this I think. Katakana is same as hiragana, but used to write foreign words, that are not native to Japanese. Kanji is Chinese characters, where one character represent a whole word. i.e. if you know 3,000 different words, then you have to learn 3,000 different kanjis to rite them. It's interesting and difficult, isn't it ? so learn it after you mastered hiragana.
so lets start with these convos :
o hajimete kudasai ! kore hanashiga o mite !
[hajimete - start; kudasai - requesting; kore - these; hanashi - talks; mite - see ]
watashi wa icebags desu ! yoroshiku onegaishimasu. [watashi - I; wa - subject indicator; desu = Hai in hindi, yoroshiku - regard me well, onegaishimasu - please].
wathashi wa salaryman desu.
Go figure the meaning yourselves.
To celebrate the start you may see this inuyasha song ^.^

Also : Looking for some one skilled in Japanse to learn from, please introduce yourself if you are such person.
The art to learning the new language is waiting there just till you complete the lessons.It seems pointless at a point especially after few lessons but suddenly trust me it all starts making sense.
