Spanish:
USA está en otro planeta económico en comparación al resto del mundo
How much Spanish do you need to translate this to

The only non-cognates are mundo and del. All the other words are close enough to figure out the first time around, and rapidly translate the second time.
Now in Hebrew:
ארה"ב נמצאת על כוכב כלכלי אחר בהשוואה לשאר העולם
Setting aside even the right to left orientation of Hebrew, the abjad — a writing system where each symbol primarily represents a consonant and vowels are not written, and the Hebrew alphabet,rather than the Latin alphabet of English and Spanish, is there a single word there that resembles English?

So you studied Spanish in college and figure now that at age 30 you'll be able to learn Hebrew in a snap?
Guess again.
