PRS-T1 Would it be possible to list some words?

Hi!
I guess this is the right place to ask my question. I have a PRS-T1, I'm not a native English speaker (I'm French), and I end up looking up words in the dictionary quite often, just because I want to have the exact translation (I've done some English-French translation, and found out I lacked vocabulary. Anyway...). I thought it would be great if there was a way to keep track of all the words I looked up and list them. I don't think making a note for everyword and going though the notes then would be really useful. But a list of words would be really nice.
I have no idea if something like that is doable, if it's complicated, but I just thought I might ask here, I'm pretty sure it would be useful for everybody, especially the kids. Of course, for non-English speaking people, it would be awesome, but I think everybody could find a use for it. My sister, for example, is really lacking vocabulary because she didn't read enough when she was younger, and she's always asking for the meaning of this, or that word. Very often, that's the same ones, over and over. A list would be good, she could memorize them.
What do you think ?

The dictionary does remember the words that were looked up. Open the dictionary, press Menu and select Word Logs: Dictionary which gives you a list of words and definitions that you looked up.

No idea where this is stored, though.
