I like the idea of toki pona, but it's really difficult to express specific or intricate ideas with so few words.
I always prefer the idea of learning natural languages, but as far as constructed languages go, I think lojban is pretty good. It's almost like a spoken object oriented programming language.
Tolkien's conlangs are all pretty good too, since they're all made solely for the aesthetic. Tengwar writing is god tier 2bh fampai.
Klingon has a massive following of Trekkies, so if you're into it I'd get into that too.
Other than that, Esperanto is a shit language and only globalist commies and socialists speak it, but it's by far the most active conlang community. So if you don't mind the presence of actual mouthbreathing mutts, it's a good option for you.

How do the Flemish say "cheers"
I've seen the Dutch ones but then there's also something like "schoal" and of course "santé". And then probably some dialect variants.

OE would allow you to read the Anglo-Saxon rune poems, but you'll realistically get access to more sources if you read ON.

Depending on what type of history you choose for your concentration, you'll have language requirements. You should start working on those. Ancient and Medieval require reading knowledge, not necessarily fluency. I did Medieval concentration and wrote my dissertation on a topic in Viking Age Scandinavia, so I took Latin, French, German, and Old Norse. If this is something you want to do, start with Latin, because you're going to need it anyway, and it conditions your mind well to learn other languages with case systems. You mentioned you already have a grasp on German, great. French is easy to learn to read if you already speak Spanish; I tested out of it with a translation exam after about a year of classes.

'Schol' (same thing as the Scandinavian 'skål') and 'santé', but also 'tjing(tjing)' (when drinking something fancier like wine or champagne, in thinner glasses that make a bright sound, which 'tjing' is an onomatopoeia of).
