I expect this is easy, but I'm not getting how to put the steps together in the
correct order. I think I'm stuck at making text layer's transparent background
semi-transparent.
I'll be very grateful for any assistance!

What you want to be semi-transparent doesn't need to be the text
background(*). It can be any layer. So just add a transparent layer,
move it behind the text layer, make a (rectangular or else) selection,
and bucket-fill the selection (with white or some other color), then use
the opacity slider at the top of the layers list to reduce the opacity.

(*) It isn't even a good idea, because the text layer is usually a tight
fit on the sides with big top and bottom margins. You likely want
something more balanced.
