Hey all,
Im using an Anki Core 2k deck for Kanji and vocabulary learning. I am trying to maximize efficiency here and pick up pitch accent while I learn. Typically, for each card I will recite the Kanji or word verbally, do the same with the sentence below (for the words I know), then repeat after the audio plays when I flip the card and try to match pronunciation.
My question here is, is the pitch accent for each word typically correct in these Anki decks? I see no reason why it wouldn’t be, but figured I’d make sure anyways.

One thing about pitch accent is that it can change depending on how the sentence is structured and what words follow/precede other words. If you’re trying to memorize the pitch accent for every single word you learn you’re going to get burned out, and it’s not really effective.
It’s far more important that you can perceive the pitch accent at all, if you can successfully identify the lows and highs, you’re going to be much more equipped for when it does start to matter. Go ahead and make sure you can start reading things and start listening to things comprehensibly and then after you start making sense of works and can form your own sentences does your accent start coming into play.
The Core deck audio is by native speakers.
