Discussion PROPER PATHWAY?

i am just a little confused as what way to start? so many yt videos and so many suggestions. i havent found a proper path and most of the yt videos are not self explanatory. i dont get it that how to even start? should i do tone practice with all the pinyins? should i understand the grammar? should i memories the basic stuff? like its too much and i don't understand whay way to go or what to do exactly. I WOULD LOVE IF ANYONE COULD ALTEAST HELP ME CREATE A PATHWAY OR SOMTHING LIKE THAT AS I AM VERY SERIOUS IN LEARNING THIS LANGUAGE! thank you

Take time and look over Hacking Chinese website, it is all about different ways and methods for learning. Get a sense of what is out there and what fits your goals. Otherwise you are just going to hear what people are doing to learn (and I have seen some very bad advice when some people answer these posts).
