Hi Nada,

I bumped into this person recommending 10 books for learning Chinese (http://www.perapera.org/best-10-books-for-learning-chinese/). You might find something you need. Let me know which one you think most suits your need best.

Click me if you need help in Chinese.

You may practice speaking around 10 -20 sentences per day. It varies by your time you may invest.
