* Greek - I can read and write this if I have my books handy, can not speak it at all
* French and German - had a small amount of this in middle school - only vaguely remember.
* Spanish - had three years of schooling in it, but have not used it in over two decades
So, thinking...
Italian - this is where my father's family is from, vast majority of my relatives (of which I do not know at all) still lives there and speaks it as their native tongue.
Spanish - In America, this is the second most used language, so knowing it may actually be useful. I probably could pick it up somewhat quicker, as at one time I could struggle through a conversation in it.
Mainly thinking about those two, but open for options. Dunno. Any suggestions?

Go for Italian if you study it for fun. Otherwise, Spanish, because it's widely used.
But don't trust me. I'm inexperienced
