He memorized the entire scrabble French dictionary in a matter of weeks!
To be fair, he can now speak French words. He just has no idea what they mean.

He probably can speak them, but maybe it will cause the opponents to start chuckling about his bad pronunciation. This would probably only help him as it makes him look stupid.
Eh, it's much less tricky than English.
