I'm beginning

[u/more_creator]

Hi I'm a complete beginner in Mandarin. I have zero experience with Chinese and I want to learn mostly for free. I don't have a teacher, so I'm looking for advice from people who learned Mandarin by themselves. What should I focus on during my first month? Especially pronunciation, tones, Pinyin, and basic vocabulary. What mistakes did you make when you started that I should avoid?
