I like to master a language every 5 years. The time has come and after becoming completely fluent in Mandarin, im considering learning Japanese. Or maybe Russian. I am not sure and I was hoping you could help me. My native language is Spanish. I would like to learn a language whose native speakers are not good at English. I think it is a bit silly to learn for example German, because German people speak good English and I can communicate with them.
After learning Mandarin, I already know like 2500 hanzi (both traditional and simplified) or so (maybe more? i am not sure, im about to do HSK 6) so I want to know if anybody else has learned first Chinese and then Japanese and what it is like. For example, even though I dont speak a word of Japanese, if i see a Japanese text i can recognize many hanzi and get an idea of what the text is about. But learning new pronunciations and probably different meanings to the hanzi i already know might be a pain in the ass. Also, I would still have to learn Hiragana and Katakana.
Russian attracts me more culturally, but grammar is a bitch and spelling is not that easy. Pronunciation is more difficult than Japanese too.
I like languages that have no verb conjugation, I think that is a huge advantage for learners (I ve taught Spanish and I know how hard it is)
Other option is Indonesian, which has a Latin alphabet and easy grammar, but it lacks cultural interest for me.
I do not know what to do. Any tips?

I lived in Guangzhou for a couple of years, I can speak a bit. But then again, I can already communicate with most people who speak Cantonese in Mandarin, so i dont see the point

Grammar is too hard and I can already talk to most Finnish people.

Your period of existence is indefinite. You will be dust trampled beneath feet of people who forgotten you and for an eternity after all they are gone so will memory of your petty achievement.

If you want a true challenge, arabic. Not msa, no one speaks that, pick a dialect

I can understand a fairly bit of it, my ear got used to it. Anyway most Cantonese people will talk to me in Mandarin by default. Only old people only know Cantonese.

Ignorant of his innumerous claws on him
and saw from them,
transmitting a damaged sensation
burned in earth's epoch formation
with red cities,
nameless stars
extinct,
versing pity.

I will never understand why people say this without knowing truly where the dialects come from and knowing the true lingua franca of the region
