This would be great if you wanted to talk to yourself without anyone understanding what you’re saying, for example, or if you didn’t want anybody to know what you were writing down. It might also be useful if you enjoy lots of foreign language media (see music, tv shows, movies) and want to experience the “original” rather than through dubs and subs.
Personally, I would go for either Russian, German, or Estonian, all three of which are because I frequently listen to lots of music that are in those languages


If you learn French, you will already be able to read and understand some bits of Spanish and can learn it without a ton of effort. A bit harder the other way around.
Spanish helps learning French more than it helps reading French, from experience
