Even though you will find
people that speak English or other languages in touristic places, in the
street, buses, stores and restaurants you will need to say some words in
Spanish, so, try to learn at least how to ask for food, ask directions and
other basic things to have a better experience in Mexico.
Try asking young people, they
are more eager to speak English.
If you will be here for a long
time you could take some lessons. There are several schools that teach spanish
as a foreign language; CEPE, CENLEX, Cecuallende and La Salle are some options.
An additional benefit is that some will give you an student ID, with which you
can get discounts on bus tickets on holidays, archaeological sites, museums,
movie theaters, etc.
You can also have a language
exchange with local people, there are several tandems for language exchange and
at CouchSurfing community there are always people willing to learn or improve
their language, so you can write in the CS Mexico City forum and for sure someone will answer
you.
