Brazil don't speak Spanish, but Portuguese
But many Brazilians do speak it. Many will easily understand what you are saying to them in Spanish.

French as spoken in France/Belgium/Quebec/Switzerland is not as easy as people think. African version in Cotonou and Africa is easier to speak.

Spanish is internationally becoming very important. German provides opportunities for work in Germany.

Mandarin will probably be the most important foreign language of the future. I may be wrong though. I thought Russian would become very important when cold war ended but alas!

If learning a single foreign language, learn French. It is our second official language. You see it in 9ja international passport.

Learning a foreign language in university is a fantastic way to expand your horizons, improve your cognitive abilities, and enhance your career prospects. But which foreign language should you choose? There are so many options to consider, each with its own unique benefits.

One of the most popular and practical choices is Spanish. With over 500 million speakers worldwide, Spanish is the second-most spoken language in the world after Mandarin Chinese. It's also the second-most commonly spoken language in the United States, making it incredibly useful for anyone looking to work or travel within the country.

Spanish is also a gateway to the rich and vibrant cultures of Latin America and Spain. Learning the language will give you access to literature, music, art, and cinema that you might otherwise miss out on. You'll also be able to connect with Spanish-speaking communities and build relationships across language barriers.

You're a shapeless ,bloody LIAR. English is the most spoken language in the world, with 1132 billion speakers, followed by Chinese Mandarin with 1117 billion , Hindi with 615 millions and finally, Spanish with 534 million speakers. Go and Google it. All of you will come Nairaland and start to spew your foolish lies.

There are many good sources online you can learn for free, especially on YouTube videos. For better immersion you can visit French village in Lagos from time to time

It's still useful Portuguese speakers can understand Spanish (though it's harder the other way around).

It's the other Romance languages that would be easier. European languages like Greek or German or even the Slavic Languages have almost no relationship with the Romance ones
That's not quite right. Nearly all European languages are members of the Indo-European language family tree, apart from a few isolates like Basque. In any case, for an English speaker, Scandinavian languages like Norwegian or Swedish would be even easier to learn than Spanish or any other Romance language.

Yes, I learned Spanish in Barbados while in nursing school, and it helped in communicating especially when traveling through Brazil, and the Panama route but personally it helped my communication with fellow Spanish nurses. I don't know how it could benefit more in Nigeria but outside the country it is.
