When should you start reading L2 (pronunciation issues??)??

I'm starting to learn French. People say you should get an SRS program, put sentences in it and then review them. Part of that review means reading the sentences in your head and out loud.

Those same people will also say that you SHOULD NOT SPEAK for a long time, cause that can result in pronunciation issues that are hard to correct....

If I'm reviewing sentences in an SRS, then that would mean I'm READING.

Kind of a contradiction don't you think?

Any advice on doing SRS sentences without causing pronunciation issues?

Correction on "If I'm reviewing sentences in an SRS, then that would mean I'm READING."

I meant to say "If I'm reviewing sentences in an SRS, then that would mean I'm SPEAKING."

I think you should just give up. There's no point in learning French, or any other language. It's a waste of time and all to no avail.
Instead, throw everything in the air and release your destructive tendencies. Let go of your dreams and aspirations. Renounce love and drown yourself in depravity, stifle your soul in corruption.
