ちょっとしか---V negative potential

Question

「はい、遠野先輩の力になれたらいいなって思って。あ、けどちょっとしか詳しい話は聞けなかったんですけどね」

I tought I could help Tohno-Senpai. But I was able to find out just a little of the full story.

Is it correct?

ちょっと=A little
しか---聞けなかった=can only hear
か詳しい話=full story

聞けなかった is past tense, so strictly speaking "could only hear". Also delete the か on か詳しい話. — Earthliŋ, Dec 19 '15 at 14:22
