I'm presuming that language may be an issue in the texts selected, so
that may be a limiting factor. There are a number of books available in
English at least which will address Ada itself as well as Ada in
specific application domains. You might look at the "books" section of
http://www.AdaPower.com/ for a few references.

If you've learned how to program better C code from having studied Ada,
then you have definitely learned something valuable. One reason for
studying languages like Ada is to understand concepts which may be
possible in other languages, but are not as directly supported.
