How big is your language learning library

When I ask most of my friends how many language resources, that is, books, CDs, programs etc they own most have a small library. I think when you are learning a language having many resources is helpful. Most people buy a few dictionaries, both pocket and complete, a few books at each level and then many additional resources as mp3s, CDs, software programs etc. I teach and learn languages so I have an uncountable number of language learning resources, from homemade flashcards to literature in my target languages. Plus I write language software - Some of these tools you will now and then, but others you will find of great value and you will place under your pillow at night, hoping though osmisis you will absorb your tagert language. Learning a language is hard work so buying a bunch of different resources is quite OK, as it adds some dimension and pleasure to learning.
