Chinese doesn't usually use an alphabet like we do. The symbols they write with represent whole words, and there are over 40,000 of them, though only 5,000-10,000 are used much. http://www.zhongwen.com is a good website for them.

To add to what others wrote, each symbol in Chinese is a separate word with a unique sound, like so:
中国
That is 2 words, and is pronounced zhóng guò, which is "middle kingdom", or China :)
If you add 人 to them, you get the word rén which is "person" so
中国人 means Chinese Person.
If you put 话 at the end, you get zhóng guòhuā which is "middle country words" or "Chinese!
