Yes, we haven’t had any problem communicating. It’s just an odd sort of thing to find that no one offers, or even thinks to offer, menus in the language of the majority of their surrounds. It’s also become quite clear that very few people speak more than a few words of Spanish, though many speak passable or better English.

Brazilians were very tolerant when I lapsed into Spanish, but I didn’t always understand their replies.
