I was surprised, I had learnt French and not Italian or Spanish, but travelling in South America I found I could read and understand Spanish and Italian newspapers reasonably well. I couldn't speak the languages but could understand the printed word. (More so Italian than Spanish.)
That is because they are in the same language family. They share common sentence structure and many words are cognates. The kink in the hose happens with language specific idioms.
On the language front--French, Spanish, and Russian (courtesy of your tax dollars)

Looking at the man's traffic cone nips, I would suspect erotic would not be out of the question.....

A few years ago, I was in Mexico, and a friend I was with who is Mexican-American (familial ties to Sinaloa) made a joke that I spoke "snotty Spanish". I didn't get it, and he explained that my Colombian-accented Spanish was seen as slightly uppity.
