Until 2015, only 5% of Mexicans spoke, understood, or had proficiency in English. Imagine arriving in Mexico, a country rich in culture, without knowing English. You get lost in the airport, and it's challenging to ask for help because no one understands your language. It would be a frustrating experience!
Spanish is a means of communication in personal, business, work, and diplomatic relationships. Learning Spanish before or during your stay in Mexico is ideal as it can facilitate communication and enable a more complete integration into society. Learning a new language always represents more opportunities for personal and professional growth.
While it's true that many Mexicans speak and understand English in specific areas of cities, in many other areas, they only know the basics of English, making successful communication difficult. It's important to know that not knowing the language can create obstacles when communicating.
If your idea of visiting Mexico is to have a complete experience, you should consider learning Spanish to participate in new activities and communicate effectively with society. Nowadays, there are many learning tools, including some autonomous ones; however, we recommend attending classes and having a tutor for a more dynamic learning experience. Rest assured that if you don't master the native language, there will always be a Mexican willing to find a way to help you. But what better than to travel, learn, and explore more cultures.
An expatriate who speaks Spanish can move around the country without any problems, with unlimited access to new experiences and, above all, the opportunity to make friends from all parts of Mexico since Mexicans, above all, love to create bonds. But if you don't speak Spanish, don't worry! Surely your experience will still be enriching.
Our recommendation is that you dare to take on the challenge of learning Spanish, a language with many conjugations, idioms, and a lot of beauty. If you want to start expanding your language knowledge, don't wait any longer and contact us. We can help you achieve one more goal. Xpats is always with you!
