I say only try to speak another language when you are unable to communicate in english, lest you insult the person whom you are talking to by implying that you can speak better spanish/japanese than they can english. After you get to know them, I am sure it would be ok and flattering if you were to practice your language skills with them, but initially at least, stick to english.
