Italian, French and Spanish all have their roots in Latin so they're very similar.
I just finished a German class and I really enjoyed it. Since English has its root as a Germanic langauge, a lot of words are really close to what you'd expect them to be. Also you have the advantage of not having to learn a whole new character set (like you would with Japanese/Chinese/etc).
It really depends on what you want to do with it, if you're planning on going somewhere.. I just took the German class because it gave me te elective credits I needed for my University degree, and the prof was amazingly good. But it also depends on what you're interested in learning, that makes the biggest difference on whether you'll succeed or not.
