I am a native Spanish speaker which makes me able to pick up the meaning of about 30-40% of words in Latin, although the semantics often confuse me. As for Ancient Greek (and some Latin words that look nothing like Spanish too) I've picked up a fair amount of terms from scientific terms, names and mythology.

I don't know how much all this translates into, I've never formally studied either.
