I had not thought about this, but it is very good idea. Unfortunataly the foreign languages I can read books in are English and German (not good enough at French, unfortunately) - but I think it's a very sound idea.

BTW: do you know "Le livre saphir"? Never translated into English I think, but still good fun in danish.
