Q. Learning pitch accent?
A. You may wind up throwing this advice away, but it strikes me as important--at least for an 'on the ball' learner.
Q. Do you read in your target language?
A. If you call mangled, sounding out of letters in a picture book with a dictionary in hand 'reading'. Yes. Yes, I do.
