I loved geometry but was slightly better at algebra. I also loved trig and particularly adored physics and astronomy, which involve a great many applications of geometry and trig. Although it seems like we were taught geometry in a very different way compared to most people here.

Despite loving all things language and languages and working in languages professionally, I also consistently did better at math than languages all through school (well, until halfway through calculus, at any rate). My sister, an aspiring math teacher, is actually the language genius in my family and not so good at math (her goal is to get kids like herself to understand it).
