The Longest Journey Hints
How can I understand the priest?
1 of 7: Think for a second... How did you learn to speak as a child?
2 of 7: That's right, you didn't speak, and everybody else around you was talking.
3 of 7: You learned by listening first.
4 of 7: So all you have to do is listen to him.
5 of 7: When you speak to him, you get all sorts of options. One of the things you can do is listen, and that is the only way of understanding him. You've got to listen to him several times, and after that, you can understand him.
6 of 7: On the conversation page that starts out with "Who are you?" and "Where am I?", notice the down arrow that's to the left of the choices.
7 of 7: This means you can scroll down (just click on the arrow) to see a fifth choice -- "Listen." Make sure you pick this one and not "Nod," or else you'll be stuck on the same page until you actually "Listen."
