The written part of Danish comes from having family there and reading books in Danish. German comes from school but have deteriorated drastically since then, because I don't use it.
I'm guessing you're from the US. The the way you think of a second language is how non-english speakers think of a third language, so we're lucky in that respect.
I wish I knew more language well tbh, want to improve my German at some point. I think it's a great idea, just be prepared to spend a lot of time on it, and use spanish speaking friends/coworkers to practice once you get that far.
