Swedish-Banjo

Im absolutly new to the mandolin, and I have been playing banjo for a little more then a year now.
What to start out with?
Actually, I find it rather easy to just play a melody by ear, though it's simply the melody, nothing more.
Should I use a hard pick, or a soft one? I find it hard to play fast on one string with a soft pick.
And how can I improve the "playing-fast-at-one-string"-technique? Are there any tricks to get it playable? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
Just need to know what to do as a newbie like me. I think it's verry funny to just pluck around, and thats the reason why I bought my mando. Should I continue to just play around or what?
