Although you might be able to pick up the meaning or get the gist of the occasional word at 1 in 10, the video I linked to in [1] above makes a convincing case that the rate at which unknown words stop being a hindrance to understanding and can be picked up from context is around 98%
- jaclaz 9y agoMost probably that 98% is an extremely accurate number, along the metrics of the professor, and I was not commenting on that video (that I didn't watch), I was only relating what in my experience happens, in my experience it isn't so horrible and I am still within that experience with more than one language where I scarcely reach 70 or (maybe) 80%.
