    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
