Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

A lot of it is just trying to grab as much information as you can, and then working backwards to see what context clues could match the question
It may help in some cases to write things down to the best of your ability, even the things you don't understand (giving an approximation based on what you hear), to allow yourself to see more of the context at once to process it

the thing is, i will only have 3 listens per time and I have to answer all the questions, so i wont have time to actually write down in the test. should i do that to practice then?

above is a practice test, i forgot to mention that ^^^

I hate stuff like this because of how heavily it tests your working memory as opposed to just your language comprehension.

I personally would try to write down keywords to help me remember key points in the dialogue.

And of course, the more effortless your comprehension, the more brainpower you can spare towards remembering stuff.

Ok I’ll try it out

But we are supposed to answer the questions while listening for some reason

If they're in order that's sometimes doable
