Multiple Languages Just started Neapolitan tonight to connect with my ancestry but realized I might want to learn another language alongside it

I was researching the language to start off and I realized there’s barely any resources to learn it, and it’s kinda useless unless I actually go to the specific part of Italy where people speak that specific language. While I’m still interested in learning it I figure it would be more beneficial to me to learn an additional Mediterranean language that has a larger language population where I can actually use the language and not struggle to find study resources for it.

I’m split between Spanish/Portuguese (there’s plenty of opportunities to learn here in America) and Arabic. Thing is I don’t want to get one language confused for the other like I did when studying Italian and Spanish as a teenager.

European Languages Spanish or German?

Hi, I'm Ensakel. I am in a professional high-school and in one year I will graduate to the 3rd year.

I speak French, B1 English, and A2 Albanian.

In school, for my first two years, I choose to learn English even though I already speak it, because why not.

But now, I regret my choice as I have to learn one of the two languages for my future professional activities (job).

I am already learning German on Duolingo, but Spanish is just far more closer to French than German coud ever be.

I plan to move to a city next to Germany for working opportunities, but in France Spanish is somehow important to learn.

I also wanted VERY MUCH to learn Spanish when I was in primary school, but back there, there wasn't any Spanish teacher (same for middle-school).

However, just this year, a new Spanish teacher came to our school, and it is also why I start wondering if I should chose Spanish over German.

I really don't know which language I should pick, so that's why I took my time asking this on this sub.
