No. It's not a phonetic shift or change. It's an inflection difference. Like singing notes.

This first mini series has been really helpful! I'll definitely need to do a lot of listening to crack pitch accent but I have a better idea of what I am listening out for now.

I'm guessing you'll just have to guess the used word from the context.

In Greek we have a similar concept but, we use the symbol ' to signify the tone.
Μέτρο (metre), Μετρό (subway). So it's a little easier to distinguish the tones in Greek even for new speakers.

Χαίρετε! I am actually trying to learn Greek right now, but I don't have anyone to talk to and practice with. Do you have any ideas to help? Μιλάω λιγο Ελληνικά, but I feel like I lose more knowledge than I learn due to not being able to use the information I learned.
