Yeah, I know all the letters in English and it's a 50/50 if I read a word I haven't seen before correctly.

I guess Hebrew is more phonetic, especially if written with nikud, so if you knew the letters you could probably read correctly.

No idea about Spanish.

Spanish spelling is so regular that my mom, a first and second year middle and high school Spanish teacher, promised on the first day that you’d be able to read out just about anything within two weeks. Your accent would be atrocious, and of course you wouldn’t actually understand what you were saying, but an attentive native speaker would understand what you read out.
