I can be fresh data for the project. I am curious myself because I have a musical background and a good ear for it, but I also have CAPD, which is more about word differentiation, as well as autism and learning disabilities. It will be fascinating to see whether this makes learning a tonal language easier or harder; I always found reading, writing, and even speaking easier than hearing, regardless of language. But perhaps tonal phrases will prove easier than I anticipate and I’ll be pleasantly surprised that isn’t the trickiest part.

Curiosity is a good motivator. Time to invest is the antagonistic factor.

I’m sort of in a middle way to understand tones, but quite far from using them correctly all the time without having to recall each one, and certainly would benefit from some more basics, I’m going to give it a try! Thanks for the chance!
