Packing your bags and heading off to Spain or Japan is unlikely to be a wise move unless you have even a basic grasp of the language.

Whatever language(s) you speak, check whether universities in your chosen country offer courses in it. Alternatively, if you have enough time, you could begin lessons in the language of the country you hope to visit..
