Unrelated to semantics, but whenever I hear people talking and my Spanish alarm goes off (I’m a native Spanish speaker), but I realize I don’t understand the words, it’s Greek most of the time.

Italian and Spanish also share lots of idioms, too.

Yes, the accents are almost identical, to the point where I sound native when I speak Spanish. I also had a Spanish friend pronounce Greek words, and he was spot on.
