How to get started learning to type Chinese using Pinyin?

If you're just getting started learning Chinese, pinyin is essential in learning how to pronounce and type Chinese characters. It breaks down each character into familiar letters, allowing you to type Chinese on your keyboard using all your existing keys. Many learners get started by reading Pinyin first, rather than attempting to dive in and read Chinese characters straight away.
