Non-native speakers of Japanese, what are your stances on learning pitch accents? Have you put any time into learning them? If so, do you feel like it was worth it? Should people learn them, or is it a waste of time?

Do you think it can be learned without study?

Good question. I never consciously tried to learn English stress accents, but (apart from the word "development") I don't have any trouble with them these days.

I learned most of my Japanese while living in Kyushu and was told by various teachers that pitch accent did not exist in Kyushu. Is that true?

Depends on area in Kyushu
