How would someone in Spain interpret your Spanish if you used English sentence structure? After seeing translations, it left me mildly confused on how it would work.

If you translate word for word it will usuallly be incorrect.
Example.
"I do not agree" = "No estoy de acuerdo" not "Yo hago no acuerdo"

Yes. You have to learn Spanish grammatical structure. It's no different than if you try to interpret Spanish, look every word in the sentence up in the dictionary, and still not be able to figure out exactly what it the sentence is saying.

If you use english sentence structure. You are speaking the wrong language. So they probably will interpret it with great difficulty.
