Akkadian is a Semitic language and, therefore, shares a number of base roots with Hebrew. However, the two languages are still quite dissimilar, using different alphabets, a majority of words with unique origins, and the roots in common are used differently. Probably the best comparison would be between English and Greek, which share a number of basal roots, but have different alphabets, a majority of words with unique origins, and the roots in common are used differently.

Why did the Hittites learned Hebrew?
There is no evidence that Hittites learned Hebrew. If the question is referring to the conversation between Abraham and the Hittites in the Bible concerning the acquisition of the burial grounds at Machpelah, neither party was speaking in Hebrew. The likely language of conversation was Akkadian, which was the lingua franca at that time. Since the Bible was in Hebrew, the contents of that conversation were preserved in Hebrew. (This is similar to modern novels that take place in other countries, but all of the dialogue is written in English instead of Arabic, Russian, or Chinese.)
