Chinese is hard especially for a someone outside China and with no channels of Chinese to use it in. Diligence is key but proper assistance and coaching even more important.
That said, I recently picked up the New Chinese Practical Reader. It comes with a book plus audio so you have a sounding board. I can then use Skype, which was recently purchased by eBay and talk to friends overseas. They can correct and coach me further. I hope this methodology works out in the long run.
I have went through the first 16 chapters already. With my foundation of Chinese it was not hard; but, it was not easy either and has become gradually more difficult with each chapter.
