Textbook for self study with an emphasis on writing?

[melzzz123]

I’m looking for a beginner Chinese textbook that can stand alone (without a teacher.) Id like a combination of listening, writing and reading practice, but a lot of textbooks I see seem to fall short in the writing area (introducing new characters without showing the stroke order, combining traditional and simplified characters etc). I just want simplifies characters. Any suggestions?

Mind if I ask, what is your native language? Or do you know several ones well enough to understand the given explanations?
