Spanish and then chiefly English.
I've studied several years of German but I've got very little vocabulary and some more is lost every passing year so I can't have a conversation with a German, although I've done so succesfully with people who use so basic a vocabulary as me (some in Czechia and Hungary).
I also studied some French for a short time but it's way easier than German for a Spaniard. Anyway it's the same, it's not worth it to learn very deep into a language if then you're not going to practice it.
I even started Italian. Anyway that's extremely easy for a Spaniard because of the similarity, even before studying anything I talked with Italians, me in Spanish and them in Italian, and we understood each other perfectly if we talked clearly enough.
The same goes for other Spanish Latin languages (Catalan, Galician) since they're even more similar than Italian. Plus we're mighty used to hear them in the news over here.
By the way I heard that when we Spaniards don't understand and say, "that's Chinese to me", Germans would say, "that's Spanish to me". LOL
