I see the FSI course is in PinYin. I have a basic chinese volume 1 book here in romanian that teaches you how to start to read chinese, but I'm missing volume 2. I was planning on picking up reading chinese after I've mastered japanese kanji somewhat. How do you learn to read chinese?

Hi, I suggest that you first become skilled in Pinyin because it is easier to learn and when you use software like WENLIN and other typing software you got to input in Pinyin.
Once you are quite comfortable in Pinyin, you try to get hold of this book for learning characters about 800 of them....
