I memorise characters by imagining them as hieroglyphs. I also read Chinese-translated manga (my cousin had plenty of those); Chinese songs from Emil Chau, Jacky Cheung, et al. But not useful without lyrics. Reading and speaking is relatively easy. Writing, however... . All the best with it! Mandarin isn’t all that hard to learn.

I was doing the same thing 14 years ago... but it was more convenient for me as my mum had lots of stock... I would recommend not watching Taiwanese shows just yet as Taiwanese Mandarin is different from Malaysian Mandarin... we use the new version while they are still using the traditional version so you might get yourself all confused... I do recommend watching music videos of local children's songs though... that helps heaps...
