A bard picks up a lot of stray knowledge while wandering the land and learning stories from other bards. A bard may make a special bardic knowledge check with a bonus equal to his level + his Intelligence modifier to see whether he knows some relevant information about magical items.
What does this mean? Is my Bards level just added to skills like Knowledge: Arcana and Alchemy when making a skill check? Does this special ability replace the two skills I've named above?
Thanks.

I think that is the bard's innate ability to be able to identify magical items. So all you would need to do is put the unidentified item in his/her inventory and then right click on it. If he/she passes the check then the item will be identified. This ability is a bonus according to the description so I imagine he will get the bonus added to his standard identify item checks, on top of bonuses from arcana and alchemy
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
