Mainly thinking about those two, but open for options. Dunno. Any suggestions?

Between the two... I'd give it a coin-toss. I spoke decent Spanish and my dad spoke Italian. We could carry on a conversation in each language and mostly get what the other person was saying.
It wound up causing the back of my head some grief because I'd give him hell saying, "What the hell, your Spanish sucks!"
