Not hard to imagine that Spanish might be among the knowledge the "Archangels' servitors" had downloaded into his head.
I don't see why the Archangels would teach their Seijins another language, especially when doing so introduces the very concept of "other languages" which they have specifically eradicated. I think the knowledge given to him would more likely have to do with operating the tech he would be provided, and perhaps martial arts, fighting techniques, small unit tactics, etc.

Actually, that is a good explanation, but I still find the fact that he has a Spanish last name too much of a coincidence.
