Which (European) Language(s) are recommended to learn for philosophy?

I am planning on learning a European language over the summer, probably German, Spanish or French. What is recommended both in terms of philosophy literature which is best understood in the original language, and what is recommended as a language which opens up more avenues of thought because of how the language is structured differently to English? For example, I have been told German has many subtle distinctions in its synonyms, which might make it harder to understand German philosophers in translation.
