How is the audience supposed to follow the story around Daenerys?
I don't know if this is different for other languages of the series. But in the German version of Game of Thrones, the spoken language when the stories come to Daenerys part is neither translated nor subtitled (except for season 5, but stopping at season 6 again).
I couldn't connect it to any real spoken language, so I assume it is not like the audience is supposed to speak this language. For season 5 with subtitles I was fine since I finally could follow up in depth.
But before It was more like just grasping general emotions of characters to each other but having no idea what is being spoken about.
And for a series as complex as GoT, I really feel like, it would be easier to follow on the political events around Daenerys.
Is it just the German version? Or for what reason they explicitly don't want the audience to understand the foreign language?

Daenerys speaks High Valyrian to her dragons, Dothraki to her Khalasar and Low Valyrian to other characters in prior seasons. All* of these interactions are subtitled, by default.
In your German version, it may be necessary to activate subtitles manually, whereas these are usually hardcoded into original (English) versions of the video, so that even people who don't turn on subtitles can follow along with the narratively important scenes containing the fictional languages.
*Practically all - some instances like extras, crowd noise or Daenerys saying "Dracarys" aren't always subtitled. This is usually because it is either unimportant or the audience already knows what it means.

However, having lost most of her family and having a terrible childhood, Daenerys had a rigid demeanor and untrusting behavior towards her peers. The greed for the throne built over the series makes her character sink deeper, in the same pit as her father.Is Daenerys a villain?
[SPOILERS] Daenerys was a villain from the start, and her ending wasn't so bad. Probably already said in this sub, just ranting because I wanted to get this off my chest. Warning: Just a theory, don't take anything too seriously, at the end of the day we're all engaged over a fictional nonexistent world.Daenerys is Kind of Terrible | Book to Show Comparison
