That's because English has Latin and Germanic roots. So we have words like 'Roundabout' (Germanic) and 'Circuitous' (Latin) for the same thing. If you have a high verbal intelligence your vocabulary will have a word from each branch. Body/Corpus, Eat/Consume, Sleep/Dormitory etc.
Also, Spanish has five vowels while English has between 14 and 21 depending on which linguist you ask. English speakers can use a subset of what they already have while Spanish speakers have to learn brand new ones.

Spanish is widely considered the easiest language a native of English could try.

Why do you want to learn? It takes several thousand hours of concerted effort to reach C1 and when you do nobody is impressed. Neither women nor employers give a single solitary fuck. I spent my teenage years studying Spanish and German the way autists study trains. Every adult in my life told me I was going to make big bucks and have a prestigious career. I don't know why people believe things like that but they do. What I ended up getting was a telemarketer job in downtown Philly making exactly as much as my monolingual coworkers, $14/hr. I used to hear the most naive advice imaginable. "Why though? Why don't you go work for the UN as a translator?"
