Next? I would say French. It belongs to the same family as Spanish, and you would learn it easier.
That, or Russian. I'm currently studying Russian, and have found that it has a similar pronunciation to Spanish.

I think you should learn Russian or Arabic or Chinese, but if I were you I would learn Russian. Russian is the easiest to learn out of all of those. My friend is learning Arabic and its very difficult for her and my other friend is learning Chinese and its very hard. French would be ok to learn and easy but its not used as much as Arabic or Chinese. If you want to go for Arabic or Chinese then go right ahead, I think it would be neat to learn a difficult language. I would go for Russian too. Theres a lot of people that speak Russian where I live and a lot of Russian immigrants coming over.

I'd go with French. The high amounts of cognates between English and French and the familiar grammar between Spanish and French make it an easy language to learn, compared to Mandarin, which has been proven to be one of the most difficult languages for English speakers to learn, as well as having an unfamiliar form of writing, as with Russian.

French would be easier, Chinese would be difficult but worth it I guess!
