Where to start
Learn the consonants by class rather than in dictionary order. The class is the single piece of information you need most often, because it is half of every tone rule, and the alphabetical order gives you no help with it.
Then learn the five tones and the ten rules that connect the two. That is the whole system - there is nothing else hiding behind it.
