Spanish, french or Japanese. Which one do I learn first?
I hope to someday be fluent in all three of these languages, i'm not sure which one I Should start learning first, I know a LITTLE bit of spanish, I live in canada so it's probably good for me to learn french, and iv'e always been interested in Japanese since I was little. I just always had an interest in being fluent in all these languages ever since I was little and learned that these languages existed. I want to try to aim at that goal so which language should I start learning first, and could someone recommend resources to learn that language free resources and resources that cost some money.

I would suggest that you learn them in this sequence:
French, Spanish, Japanese ...
But, if you really want to learn languages ... start with the easiest one: Esperanto.
Knowing some Esperanto will make the other languages easier to learn.
Try something like this:
1. 20 hours of Esperanto will teach you the basics.
2. A few weeks of Esperanto and French.
3. When you get some idea about French, add Spanish.
4. When you are more confident, add Japanese.
Yes. You can study the four languages at once.
In less than 20 hours of learning Esperanto, you will be able to chat with people from other countries. Try Montreal, Quebec, France, Spain and all of South America, and Japan.
Esperanto speakers from these places will be very happy to help you learn and practice their languages.
If you visit any of those countries, Esperanto will help with
the first contacts. You can also receive travelers from these
countries who are able to speak Esperanto.

Since your in Canada I would recommend you learn French first since it would probably be most useful. Second I would recommend you learn spanish since it is a Romance language like French. Spanish and French share a lot if vocabulary and grammar so spanish will be easier after you learn French. Japanese is the hardest so it might take you a lot more time to learn. There is a free app called duolingo that will help you get started on French and Spanish.
