I want to self-teach myself to write /speak Mandarin. Any advice or good resources?

I’m going on a trip to China nest year and I’d really like to understand people over there so I don’t get lost and etc.

I heard ‘Mandarin for dummies’ was good., though that was from one person on a very old website.

I want to be able to read the actually language and just the language using english letters.

Thanks for your help!
