French peanut here, who speaks french (duh), english, spanish and german:
English obviously is straight, practical and useful.
French is super difficult, so unless you are crazy, don't go there. But it is a fascinating idiom in its subtleties. Not very logical though, and packed with irregularities that you have to learn, no explanations for those.
Spanish is very sexy imo, not difficult if you want to understand what you read, and useful. Good authors too, so it is definitely worse the hassle.
German is a not that difficult to learn language, very logical so if you are into maths, go for it, and has a very impressive amount of words as beppe already stressed out. I speak it better than English, but only because I had to write a lot of reports in German, writing in German is imo is the best way to learn it. I am not at all in the romantic/tortured spirit of it, so I never read much in German.

Between Italian and Spanish, I guess I would put Spanish first because of its usefulness, but it is a hard choice to make. Italian sounds lovely to my ears too.

Don't want to be a pain in the neck, but where is Stitch ?
