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.

I should preface some sentences said I could understand completely without reading but that was maybe like 1 in 20

Not a language teacher but if the point of learning with a video game for you is to learn while having fun then you have to make sure you're having fun. If you can sit there for 6 hours on a single screen and not get demotivated then it'll probably eventually work, but if you burn yourself out it won't have been for much. I would say just try to make sure you can get the important words in the sentence and don't beat yourself up if you can't get non-important info, you'll likely learn quite a lot just playing and trying, when you feel like it, to get the basics of what you need to know

again I'm not a pro and have never fully learned a language I wasn't born into so take my advice as an uniformed opinion

You'll quickly get exhausted if you look up every word or replay the same part over and over. It's important to tolerate ambiguity

However, if you are really struggling and can't understand most of it, then it will just become white noise. You can look for something easier and work your way up to Mass Effect
