Languages: speed up learning?

[Monster]

I'm just short of 5o hrs in, and I might have about 180 vykeen words, and none of the others. I think about 1/20 word is translated, so I would need 1000 hrs per language, times 3 (?). I don't see how the devs can expect us to play the same game for 3000 hrs to master the languages. Is there any shortcut?

Are you 100% maximizing your language learning opportunities?

Start by doing the full atlas path and running over all the lights for words.
Speaking to every alien in the space station, picking the learn new word option.
Using the scanner on planets to hunt for more language stones.
Visiting more monoliths and learning more words
Visiting lots of trading posts finding them using the economy scanner and using the learn new word option when speaking to all the aliens at the post.

Probably missing a few but thats a good start.

Thanks. I haven't really bothered to follow the story yet, but otherwise I'm doing basically all of that. I guess I would be farther, if I had followed the story and got the "land vehicle" blueprints; all that sprinting is getting rather tedious... :D

Gek language is easy/easier to learn because Geks on space stations want only 10 credits for 1 word

Find some lush heavily guarded sentinel planets and you will find significantly more knowledge stones. And way more other cool stuff as well.

It will take a while, even why you maximize the effort. I personally like this feature of learning the languages, gives something long term to do in the game besides from reaching the core. I am now at 400 Gek words and spend quite some time in the game. Funny thing is that even with 400 words I still sometimes can't read a word they say :P

Does that mean I have to learn 2368 words in total, or *per language*?

Also, I'm not sure I can trust that wiki page; it also says "Alien Ruins typically have a sizable amount (2-5) of Knowledge Stones", but the ruins have *0* knowledge stones for me. They only got "artifact fragments" (or similar, which are actually keys), and gravitino balls (or whatever they are called). I'm talking about those places with chests. Maybe I'm getting the name wrong. The *monoliths* have about that amount of knoledge stones, I think.

I believe Gek has 709 words total. Not sure about the other languages, but it should bre similar.

In total.

There are 2 types of ruins: with knowledge stones (normal ruins) or with artifacts and gravitino balls (ruined ruins :D)

I think the fastest way to grind this is just warp from system to system, landing on stations, talk to npc, rinse and repeat.

[Zepheros]

Once you find a planet(s) with tons of language stones laying around, slap an Exocraft pad down and zoom around to grab them. Outside of Atlas stations and Space stations, it's the fastest way to learn.

I just figured that out too. But they are called the same in the game, if I remeber correctly.

OK, so now I've got plenty of input on this. Thanks. Sounds like an "end game" goal; once you "have everything", you try to complete your vocabulary too.

[Shame on you]

OP asked for some information and advices, not for cheats.

Yep, you either continue your travel to the center of the galaxy or explore new planets and learn languages.
