Do you have any of these concerns?
Most teachers focus on teaching grammar points but don't teach how to sound more natural...
If you study from writings and grammar without receiving pronunciation instruction from the beginning, both listening and speaking ability will not develop efficiently.
In addition, if you learn them in a wrong way, fossilization may occur, and it would become more difficult to correct the pronunciation later!
