What is the best language to learn next after French language?

I'm currently learning French at intermediate level and was thinking of picking up another foreign language. For those who speak this beautiful language out there, what is the best language to learn next after French and why?

I would like to learn something similiar to the French language.
Anything other than English, Mandarin, Malay – I've known these.

OK, everyone is a bit wrong. 1 – the most spoken languages are: Mandarin Chinese, Spanish and English. And 2 – French is nothing like Arabic, some French words derive from Arabic, however and some French is spoken in Arabic countries. I'd either go with Spanish because it's similar to French and opens up most of South America and some Asian counties for you to use it in as well as Spain (compared to French which isn't as widely spoken) or for something a bit trickier but certainly worth it – Mandarin Chinese. It's not too hard, quite fun and will certainly be useful in the future.
