Devanagari alphabet is not that complicated to learn. Unlike japanese or chinese who use ideogram, it's an alphabet. And unlike arab or hebrew it's written from left to right, which make things easier to learn for us westerners.
I've studied a little bit of sanskrit (not hindi) long time ago, and it's true that this language shares the same roots than every Indo-European languages, french and english included. For example sanskrit for the french word "serpent" (snake) is "sarpa"...
