I can’t do dragon shouts

I can't do dragon shouts. I asked my friend and she said that it might be a glitch.

I don't know what to do, the game told me to go to some place – I don't remember the exact name, but I remember that it was ''Grey..'' something and that it was on a top of a mountain and that it was thousands of stairs to get up there. Do I need more dragon souls?

Best Answer

Following the main quest, you should be able to shout once you kill the dragon that attacks Whiterun after you complete Bleak Falls Barrow. You should not need to complete the next stage of the main quest, climbing the Seven Thousand Steps to High Hrothgar, to shout (though doing that next stage should teach you an additional shout).

Make sure when you go into the shouts section of the magic menu that Unrelenting Force is selected; that's probably the only shout you know, so if you de-select it pressing the shout button won't do anything.
