There are, in fact, many similar words because of both languages' roots in Latin, but the pronunciation (pronunciacion) is different.
Spanish is generally much more phonetic: the letters mostly have only one sound, and a word is the composite of its letters. Thus 'dormitorio' is pronounced 'dorr-mee-tOrr-ee-aw', whereas 'dormitory' is pronounced 'dAWmitri'.
Some words are similar in (written) appearance, but pronounced differently, e.g.
accidental (English 'akseeDENtl'; Spanish 'aktheedenTAHL' ('th as in 'thin')
aficionado ('ahfeesee-ohNAHdoh'; ahfeethee-awNAHTHaw ('th', 'thin';TH, 'then'))
cruel ('CROO-el'; 'croo-ELL')
Some also have different meanings, e.g.
circular ('SIRkuela'; 'theerrcooLARR' ('th' as in 'thin')): but the Spanish can also mean 'to circulate, travel, move, run, as well as 'circular' like English.
once ('WUns'; 'ONthay' ('th' as in 'thin'); the Spanish means 'eleven', and is also an abbreviation for the (charity for the blind) equivalent to the National Lottery.
mitin (from English meeting)
esmoquin (from English smoking)
líder (from English leader)

Because they're are different words all together.Answer:The difference between the suffix -ist and the suffix -er is based on the origin of the word (where it came from). If the word origin is from Greek or Latin the suffix -ist would be used. If the origin of the word is from Old English or Germanic then the suffix -er was used.
Not many, for most of the time they have Spanish spelling. wat (English 'watt', but also written 'vatio'). Some words of German origin, e.g. wagneriano (also 'vagneriano')

A great number of words have come into English from the Spanish language. English has sometimes been called "the great thief of languages" because it adopts so many words from foreign languages. For a list of some of the words taken from Spanish, please see the link below.

Probably quite a few, although I don't know that anyone has counted. There may be fewer than you think; there are many English words that originate with Spanish and not necessarily Mexican culture, and there are many English words that share Latin and other roots with Spanish words, not necessarily implying that English got them from Spanish/Mexican. Without a doubt, English is one of the more flexible world languages. We borrow and adapt many words from many languages and cultures-- probably more than any other language. In fact, some have suggested that English is really a form of Creole. I'm rather fond of that appellation [from Latin, and related to the French for name].
There aren't any Spanish words that end in K. K is not used in Spanish writing, except in a very few loan words from English and other foreign languages.

Spanish and English are both Indo-European languages, sharing common roots in Latin. They also have a large number of cognates, words that have a similar form and meaning in both languages due to their shared history. Additionally, both languages are widely spoken around the world and have influenced each other through cultural exchange.
There really arn't too many words that start with the letter 'w' in the Spanish language. This is because the 'W' is not a Spanish letter, but rather one that they adopted from the English language. The words that begin with a 'w' in Spanish are all nouns.
