Take your time to read all tutorials they offer up. Consult the monster guide often and research. Don't assume just because you are in the first or second area that you are capable of killing everything there. Some monsters you can't even touch until much later unless you want to spend your day dying repeatedly. Your Palico can be very useful, get him the right equipment and learn the functions of his gadgets.

Take your time and try all weapons in the training area. Don't just settle on one, try a bunch and see what fits your play style. Some for me are unusable, and some are pretty beast.

Use buffs, potions, and eat a meal before every battle or expedition. Don't hesitate to just take a few hours to explore, gather, and craft. You never know what you are gonna find or run into. It's one of those rare games that most items have a helpful function in a lot of scenarios.
