[RunSet]

Pursuing a programming degree required me to obtain two credit hours of a foreign language. Gotta suck as much cash from the student body as possible I guess.

I took Spanish classes online. One of the common exercises tested your "ear": An audio recording of one or more people talking in Spanish would play, which the student was expected to transcribe. Not translate, just transcribe.

Funny thing- for accessibility purposes, they had to provide a text transcript of the exercise.
