#13Logarithms as practiced on the slide rule. Latin. Software dev and QA.
I took latin in middle and high school. I can't honestly think of any benefit it has given to me.
I sometimes glimpse the history of the western world in words. Hibernate. Hibernia.
Stones disappear into the walls, but sometimes it's fun to see where they came from.

That's really interesting. I would've thought it'd be useful trying to understand more complicated texts in college.
I am French, and honestly I can't remember a time when the knowledge of Latin helped me with something, and my undergraduate degree had a small component of literature (like two hours a week) so I had to study a bunch of classical French texts.
I think Latin might be interesting for someone who likes to study languages for the sake of learning them, or maybe for someone who is really into the Bible or the Roman history, but I can't think of much use of it. (You might be able to learn Spanish if you have studied Latin beforehand, but that time would have then better spent on learning Spanish).

I wish I had learnt a foreign language, preferably either German, or one with a cool not Latin script, like Russian

#16I wish I had explored more artsy endeavours in high school and college, instead of being such a nerd focused on only science. Litterature, drama, creative writing, music.

#18I expected to see here things like negotiations and literature.
And, absolutely unexpected, I saw "Russian". 3 times.
Would you please explain?
P.S. I'm a native Russian speaker.
