Do you look up EVERY SINGLE unfamiliar word in games?
I usually do. But sometimes, I get tired of it and get lazy for a few words.
Also in games where the text scrolls by automatically even if I don't press the button(like the long-ass movies in Xenosaga1, 2, Suikoden V), the text is gonna keep scrolling by as I look for a word. So it's not convenient to do so in these cases.
Do you make flashcards? Vocabulary lists? I used to do this when I was a nub and had to literally look up EVERY SINGLE WORD. Perhaps it was useful in the heyday, but I don't find it so useful anywhere. It's better to hope the word comes up again in another sentence. I generally find it easier to remember that way.
If you know or can guess the definition, do you bother looking it up for the pronounciation? Even if you can make an educated guess on the pronounciation, do you still check a dictionary to confirm?
