How many languages do you know?

Japanese - 1 day
Ancient Greek - 7 months
Latin - 5 years
French - 11 years
Spanish - 7 months
A bunch of wiccan weird writing - 4 years
Mandarin - only know the swear words (Dieusie)
Korean - one word (Sheebaa)
English - since around 4 years old (My first word)
American/Australian - Why did I include these?
 
English, Portuguese, German, and some Latin.

What does this famous Latin phrase mean if you truly know latin? "amor est vitae essentia"
 
Really close, but no.

Nope it means "Love is the essence of life." Vitae means life, amor is love. Piece it together and it's simple. And you've been studying it for 5 years eh?

I suppose your right where he might not remember all of latin. It's a tough language, but with it comes the basis of all other languages. In fact the English language is largely based on it as well.

Mmm...I didn't know English was a Latin language. I knew it had taken quite a bit from the French language but that that was the end of its Latin heritage.
 
Yeah, have you ever wondered why people in Biology use latin words to describe new discoveries or a new species of organism?
 
Okay, I need to repost a post I guess, as people are adding things lol..

Acient Greek - 2 Years
Latin - 4 Years

Chinese - I can say: Your mother smells more then your ass, and common things like Hello, How are you, I am dead, I am goign to make you dead, My name is... and some other basic things..

Nope it means "Love is the essence of life." Vitae means life, amor is love. Piece it together and it's simple. And you've been studying it for 5 years eh?

I should add Yiddish to that list of mine on (I think) page two.
I've learned mostly common sayings, but I understand quite a bit more than just the curse words and common phrases.

Oddly, when I get mad my accents in my languages seem to disappear and I learn to say things I never knew I knew to begin with :D
