But, I don't know which self study book is the best to help me learn beginner Mandarin language or which is really suitable for a learner like me.

The way I understand it leaves me confused.
Wo yao tang = I want soup
Wo xiang tang = I would like soup
Wo xiang yao tang = I would like want soup <-- This I don't understand. Isn't this redundant?
This is mandarin Chinese pinyin, by the way.
Additional Details
So, in the case of "wo xiang yao tang", the "xiang" has absolutely nothing to do with "would like to"? The "xiang" is put before the "yao" to make "wo yao tang" sound more polite? If so, then what is the actual definition of "xiang" in "xiang yao" or should "xiangyao" just be seen as one word basically meaning "politely want"?

我愉快地意志告诉你关于中文风俗。中国有很多传统节:端午节,新年节,民族文化节。中文节很有意思和好玩。你应该今年暑假到长城,长城有很多中文文化,很有意思。你也应该到北京吃烤鸭,很好吃!
It is meant to be in response to someone asking about Chinese customs and where to go on a trip to China.

this is for my own personal education im curious as to how close i am to translating this correctly anyone out there who has the time to translate this it is much appreciated. Alright here it is:
I went to Seattle for my holiday because I have family and friends that live there as well as a house. I lived in Seattle before I moved to Bei Jing this is why I frequently visit. I stayed in Seattle for three weeks at my old house. During this time I saw many old friends, snowboarded and family members from australia came and visited. My grandmother and grandfather on my mother side came from sydney to share christmas with us. An aunt and uncle also stayed for a few weeks in our house with us. My eldest sister came with her boyfriend on christmas. Both of them already live America. There are mountains to snowboard on within 30 minutes of my house. My favorite part of my holiday was seeing my old friends. Many of them can drive which made it easy to see a lot of them. Christmas and New Years were also fun with my family.

So I was born in the US and raised there all my life, which is the reason why I have difficulty reading and writing Chinese. Sometimes I feel ashamed of not knowing how to read or write in Chinese, so I will have to work hard to learn my native language.
Although I lack writing and reading skills, I am grateful that my parents spoke to me in Chinese (Cantonese) all my life, allowing me to retain my ability to comprehend and speak with fluency.
Any advices?
