Hello, I am new here. I have a heart to learn mandarin specially now that I am in a corporate world. I hope everyone will help me build me up in this area.. Thank you and God bless! Question: Is it better to study Pronunciation before learning the basic day-to-day greetings?

I would say that you should definitely understand the basics of tones while you're learning but that it's not required for the most basic day-to-day greetings. Many people will be able to tell you are a beginner when you start speaking and like that you're trying more than that you have perfect tone. So I say start with the basics. if you want to watch a kind of useful, but kind of strange, video for practicing tones you can watch one here; http://studymorechinese.com/video/truly-odd-video-for-learning
