And why shouldn't it count. If I spend three years on spanish or three 
years on chem physics, and bio I come out with the ability to understand 
something that people who have no exposure can not. Science certainly is 
another language with a multitude of dialects. One might even argue that 
since everyone could learn to speak spanish, but only a minority are 
capable of even a four year science degree that it is a language of the 
intellectual elite (or middle class depending how snooty things get).

While my education certainly hasn't made me an expert, I would gather 
that your spanish abilities have not allowed you to contribute to 
spanish literature.
