It looks like you've had a few responses about pronunciation.
I really don't have much to add; my personal goal is more to be
able to read the language than to speak it, and I knew going
in that I had very little talent for pronouncing unfamiliar
sounds (I have a terrible accent even in French, which I began
learning at around 10), so I pretty much decided not to bother
with getting the sounds right.
