I wish l could speak YORUBA and IGBO but sad enough l can only speak my mother's tongue which is FULFULDE (FULANI) and HAUSA fluently. But l guess it's still not too late to learn the two languages (Yoruba and IGBO).

Spanish, Portuguese. But in the meantime a good language translation device comes in handy when I'm traveling internationally.

There are also regional variants of Spanish in Latin American countries such as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, etc.

Learning French though would enable you to easily transit into learning Spanish and Portuguese because of the near similarities in words.

I find it interesting after silently scanning through a significant number of pages on this thread that Hausa and Spanish keep popping up here. Indeed Hausa is easy to learn and doesn't need diacritical marks to understand.
I have mad love for folks who speak fluent Yoruba without mixing it with English. The Godfather and 1986 Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka speaks Yoruba very well without mixing with one drop of English and he's very fluent with great diction in speaking English and French.

Another urbane gentleman I've seen who speaks Yoruba fluently without code-switching or mixing Yoruba with random English is the former Commissioner for Information under the Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode government who speaks very good English with a great diction, and he can give a fluent extempore speech in the Yoruba language for 10 minutes or more without mixing with even one word of English.
