Language impressions

[magid]

Laotian is a very pretty, swirly language... except in boldface, which becomes rough. Interestingly, it's the language that requires the most memory, the file being about twice what the other languages were.

Russian makes me think of German in another alphabet, having such long words (the file is the longest one, by far). It also looks like it's all in small caps, except for the italics, which are lower case. Russian uses a comma instead of a decimal point, in the European style.

Arabic looks vaguely familiar (a couple of years in Israel will do that), but it's disconcerting to check pages that feel left-right flipped, *except* for the equations, and some other art, and suchlike. My eye is having a hard time jumping around so much.

Here endeth the alphabet ruminations; there aren't any more translations for this product.

That just explains my whole "Integral and Differential Math for Sciences" class, which I initially failed, mainly because the teacher didn't really know any Hebrew, and tried to teach the course in Russian, thinking math was a universal language. That, and those infernal, annoying COMMAS.

(I got a 99 when I retook it with a different teacher)
