[fortunatewings]

As many as I could, but until recently my English skills were not up to the task, so I am only just discovering titles that have not been translated into Japanese.

Many of the greatest detective stories are in English, but there are also some in French and other languages. The most popular, such as Holmes stories, have been translated already, but there are many that haven't yet.

W-wait a minute, Naoto, you know French too!?

A good detective is fluent in many languages.

[fortunatewings]

I would be happy to assist you with your English at any time.

[Blush] Though my reading skills are far better than my speaking.
