tip: remember when speaking to fully pronounce each syllable. there are pitches in this language, but 95% of the words i send are on the cd you have so you can learn the right pronuncation. most of the time this isnt really needed. but some words do depend on it for ex. noon and day are both i ga (ee gah) only the pitch is different.
