Interesting. 30 years ago, I learned it as:

Hablando del rey de Roma, pronto se asoma.

I wonder if there's some regional variation with the expression.

Formally: French, Spanish, ancient Hebrew, and German. (Years later, I claim no competence in the latter two.)

Informally: Italian, Portuguese, Esperanto, Irish, Welsh

Dabbled: too many to count

Especially since you've learned Spanish to A2, I'd say go for L'Italiano secondo il Metodo Natura. It's 50 chapters long, completely in Italian, and the text and audio are available free in a series of videos on YouTube. (Public domain, at least in the US.)

American here. Most of what I know about English grammar, I learned in French and Spanish classes at school (with the grammar taught in the target languages, not English.)

Hablo Inglés, Francés y Español. No he practicado mucho desde la secundaria, pero todavía recuerdo bastante. Intenté aprender alemán en la universidad, pero lo olvidé todo muy rápido. Así que ahora lo estoy intentando de nuevo.
