I'd go along with the toast option. You might consider having the toast automatically stop appearing after the user has successfully long-pressed a certain number of times... and maybe make it come back if your app hasn't been opened for more than, say, a week. Seems like that'd be less intrusive than a "beginner mode" that they have to deliberately shut off.
