@user65480,

Start by listening to these lessons in any order. Goal should be to maximize Chinese language input, while dealing with usable chunks:

For individual phonetics of specific characters, there are audio recordings here, navigable by the pinyin chart:

Don't worry too much about the study center until you know the most common words and phrases and are more comfortable with the sounds of the language.

Best,
