Wow, my error not seeing the article date, sorry about that. It popped up on my feed this am. Better look more carefully in the future.

Haha all good, an interesting story none the less. It’s been over 9 years, think he speaks French yet?

He didn’t need to in order to win the Scrabble and indeed, speaking a foreign language needs a lot more than memorising a dictionary, though that in itself was a massive accomplishment.

Depends how much of the dictionary he memorised! I’d think memorising a dictionary covet to cover would be more work than learning to speak a conversational level of French, but I guess he didn’t actually have to memorise the whole dictionary, just enough to have a decent number of words to play in scrabble
