I recently saw several posts about Logan being a polyglot. From my personal perspective, I agree.
The guy has been around for over 200 years, so it's impossible for him not to know at least the basic structure of other languages like German or French. Plus, we're talking about a war veteran.
Usually, these people, by interacting for so long with other cultures, end up learning from the locals. Also, in terms of military strategy, many soldiers learn words, phrases, and codes from the language spoken by the enemy.
So if we assume the Wolverine: Origins montage is canon, Logan served in both World Wars on the Allied side. He was at the D-Day landings in France and was a prisoner of war in Japan… (PS: I don’t know how my friend managed to get to Asia over the course of a year amidst all the chaos of WWII 👀 Mis respetos lol). Later, the guy was also sent to serve in Vietnam.
As we know from the comics, Logan ended up learning Japanese during his time in Japan. In that sense, it’s possible to assume that he probably learned several languages during his military service in Europe, such as French, German, Italian or Spanish. In addition, he most likely also managed to learn Vietnamese.
It is even possible that in Vietnam he reinforced his French, since in that country, by the early 1950s, many people spoke French, due to its colonial past (French Indochina).
In short, Logan being a polyglot is more canon than the Poolverine being roommates.

Personally, I would like to think that Logan knows Spanish and since he took on the role of Laura's father, he has been practicing and reinforcing his knowledge of the language.
Logan understands the importance of speaking another language and how it help to understand the depth of feelings and ideas. That is why Logan is interested in practicing and learning his daughter's native language.
For Laura, that interest translates into love. She is always grateful for her father's efforts to get closer to her. Also, she admires his dedication.
- FUCK ! Laura, can you come over for a moment? I have a question…
- Sureee. I’m all ears.
- What is the preterite perfect supposed to be?
- mmm very good question, I don't know either.
- The Fuck… aren't you supposed to speak spanish?
- Yes… But let’s say I only know one rule…
- which one?
- The rule that says: Te amo mucho papá.
- that is not a rule…
- No, but it is a fact.
- You know, now that I think about it, I also know a grammar rule. Do you want to know what it is?
- Sure.
- The rule says something like: También te amo, mi adorada hija.
