There are some cognates but most of the similarity is in the roots. Also, the alphabet is easier to learn. It's not an easy language, but your appreciation for and command of English will be greater after studying Greek. And of course you will understand the New Testament much better.

You will also learn latin, and more Hebrew too. You should feel lucky, I'm becoming a priest for the Catholic Church, I have to learn every language in the world. yea it’s a hard language to learn.

If you have even a basic knowledge of Hebrew, Koine Greek should be a breeze. You probably wont even have to worry about accent rules. If you are good at language, you should be able to read the New Testament within a year of studying Greek. But if you are going to any college, be prepared to have far more than 2 hours of misery every tuesday night. If you are serious about education, you will be pushed harden that you ever have been. Look forward to 5-6 hours of misery every night if you want to maintain a high GPA. Greek is easy. If you have even a basic knowledge of Hebrew, Koine Greek should be a breeze.

And no, you're not going to learn the ENTIRE Greek language. No one knows any ENTIRE language. You don't know the ENTIRE English language, do you? Of course not, even though you're fluent in it. You probably won't even become fluent in Greek. What you will learn is the alphabet, and most of the words used in the New Testament, and a goodly number of grammatical rules. According to Mounce, there are 5437 words in the NT, but only 319 of them account for 80% of the text. For example, learn the one word "kai" ("and"), and you've already learned almost 7% of the New Testament. Easy-Peezy. (Sort of.) It’s no more difficult than Spanish or many other languages.
