babble doesn't count.  You can think I'm lying till the cows come home

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.
