English has backwards for me too 
Well, these Spanish words, phrases and sentences are backwards, but to be fair, they are forwards as well...Maybe the word you are looking for is palindromes 
reconocer
Ojo rojo
La ruta natural
Ana lleva al oso la avellana
Yo hago yoga hoy
Salta Lenin el atlas
Anita lava la tina
It seems 'backwards' to you becuase you're a native English speaker (probably not bilingual like me, I assume). It may be difficult to understand the different mechanics of another language, but you'll get used to it over time.
It's not that the sentence is said backwards, its just that the "who, what, where, when, why" is put infront as we do in english.
Ex
When are you going to the mall?
¿cuando vas al centro comercial?
I am going to the mall at two o'clock.
me voy al centro comercial a las dos.
It works all ways you just need to find a way to connect to it in both languages.
Hope I could help!

Because it's not English. All languages are like this. Look up a couple of Lazarus' threads and view some of the lashings he has given people for similar questions. To me, it's just one of those things that you learn the mechanics of and the more you use them the more you become accustomed to them, and they begin to come naturally. If you get stuck with something specific, ask a question on this site. Most of the time you will get a good or condescending answer. Either way, you get an answer
That's because English is backwards for us Hipanics.
Thank you faceless.
:D
They are not backwards, You are just being exposed to one of the differences in different cultures, and languages. There is no one way to structure sentences. One is not right, and the other wrong.
I am just repeating what has already been said with different words. It's all good, and don't stop asking questions, and you will get answers. No harm done, no foul.
I saw a goose today. It was glorious. I wanted to give it a name, but all the goose names were taken. If you put that goose with no name in a box with radio-active material and close the lid, at what point does the goose parish? Is it when you close the lid? I think the price of tea in China went up again today.
"Because it's not English"
Thread should end here I think.
It's just that Spanish has a freer word order with regard to position of subject and verb also noun and adjective. There are a few other things I could mention, but as you are a beginner I don't want to confuse you too much.
Adjectives in Spanish go after the noun; the opposite of English.
I think that answers your question. (Better than some of the jerks here....)
I posted some interesting English examples that you will see are backwards, in English, in a recent thread, here.
