One thing that helps in learning European languages, I think, is having a solid base of understanding Latin and Greek roots. With that, the "mixing of signals" you mention can occur. For instance, in Spanish, "slow- (-er, -ly)" is "despacio", from the Latin "spatium", with the implication in English of "spacing it out". So for me there were indeed these bridges of thought helping me tie Spanish vocabulary into English words with Latinate roots.
