"I know it really good"?
No you don't. You just contradicted yourself in that simple sentence.
As for myself, I read classical Latin, and Classical Greek in the Attic dialect.

Okay, I started wondering what "really good" (or rather "well") means.
I am very much impressed by the ancient languages. Knowing them is an attribute of really well educated people.

What brought Farsi to Afghani? And knowing 20 words in Türkic (theres a character on the C that my keyboard doesn't have), does not count as knowing a language... I know English and Arabi, hopefully I can say French come next year.

Knowing them is an attribute of really well educated people.I do consider my Latin knowledge to be more grandiose than knowing a romance language; nevertheless, I could read French or Italian if pressed. Did you know that 'educated' in Britain used to mean that you can read both Latin and Greek? I thought that to be intriguing. Latin should be mandatory. Considering how beneficial it is to the understanding of English grammar, I am incredibly disappointed that students are not forced to learn it. Although, many of the high school kids who do have Latin really are pretentious underachievers who may learn a declension or two but cannot tell me what a passive periphrastic or what a syncopated verb is. Tragic.

I am only fluent in Hebrew and English.
Other than that, I have been studying Polish and German for two years now, but I still have a long way to go before I would dare to say I am good at any of them. I could also understand Aramaic fluently and somehow manage to hold a conversation in Russian.

I would really like to learn it, but I've got no idea where I can at least get books.
I don't understand what you mean about your knowledge of Latin being more grandiose than learning a romance language. Or it might be that I'm not too accustomed to the way of thinking of wherever you live in, where maybe romance languages are considered...well, the best in the world, I guess.
I find Latin more useful, though. It is great to know at least the Latin and Greek roots in my language (Spanish), since that way you can understand most words without the need of a dictionary.
As for me, I can only speak Spanish and English fluently.
I can read and understand Italian, and might be able to say an accurate sentence once in a while, but I can't write it or speak it. If you give me an Italian text to read out loud, I can, though.
I learn German at school, but it's not a language I really like, and during three years the teachers have been teaching us the same things over and over.

They are baby languages in comparison.
