I only need a normal English one, maybe a Dutch one, and if I ever decided to read a German book, a German one.
Three languages is enough. I already speak one more than most Dutch people, one more than the average English speaker, and three more than the average German or French citizen.
No, that was not a typo... *Rrrrrrruns...*   |
I need them for books I read where the hero throws out an occasional foreign word or phrase. Historical romances are notorious for this sometimes then there are some modern romances where it happens. I've read a few this last year where I got tired of looking up words through Google. Now I can just press and see the meaning and move on.
