Spanish is so far close to English in so many aspects, because English grammar is so heavily influenced by French (which is why French and Spanish are easier for English speakers to learn than German, even though German and English are technically both members of the same language family). If someone took a Spanish sentence and overlaid every single word with its English equivalent, 95% of the time it would be intelligible to a native English speaker. On the other hand, if one did the same thing for Hindi, it would almost certainly be unintelligible unless someone already knew the "framework" of the grammar of Hindi, in which case they'd interpret it properly. I never once been unable to communicate in Hindi, since I already know all the vocabulary I need.
