Elder Scrolls is Great for Learning a Language! (self.elderscrolls)

Hi all! I've been teaching myself German lately, and I've really found so much value in switching Skyrim over to German and immersing myself that way! At first it was really, really hard, and I was spending a lot of time stopping and translating words and adding them to my flashcard app.

Now, it's still hard, but I'm finding with the repetition and the need to know the words, I'm learning quickly! The way you can stop and examine items and learn words that way, and the slow speed of dialogue and ability to repeat most dialogue really lends itself to learning a language.

It's also just a lot of fun! I've never played the DLCs, somehow, so I'm excited to get through the game and play those, as well as trying out some nice mods!

Has anyone else here done this? :)

"Früher war ich auch ein Abenteurer. Aber dann habe ich einen Pfeil ins Knie bekommen."

(I haven't actually played Skyrim, I just know this line from the memes.)
