Don't worry so much about finding English speakers or about your level
of Spanish!
I do speak several languages, but even then, I've been to countries
where I couldn't speak the local language and somehow we always manage
to communicate without finding a common language, let alone English.
On the whole, I think Americans worry too much about language problems
and worry too much about whether there will be English spoken.
