I don't have access to instruction here. I know one can use playback features if I can get it working on Linux but I really hate the sound of my voice. On the plus side I am pretty good with impressions and accents [I do an awesome Shrek/Fat Bastard]
IIRC there is this Chinesepod.com or something like that seems to be pretty good. If I start with that and work on tones, will I be able to "get it" or will I be one of those people who spend ages learning Chinese only to be utterly not understood when he speaks to Chinese people.
I am thinking Mandarin, not Cantonese.
