More than half of English comes from Latin or Greek (some of the Latin words themselves come from the Greek.) However, everyday language is more than half of Anglo-Saxon origin. As a token of this, check any three-plus syllable word, it is almost always Latin.

Spanish is one of the languages that come from Latin. Many words in Spanish sound very close to those in Latin. But there are also many words that don't resemble each other at all. This quiz is about some of these words.
