I've explained in the article that I didn't concern myself with pronunciation at all which is the book authors advice. I have pronunciation on my answer side of the Pleco flash cards (they are shuffled and the algorithm decides which card to show me based on the ones I've marked as learned and their score) but I didn't make any effort to memorize it.

I focused entirely on how to memorize the characters and how to remember to write them based on the keyword + primitive.
