In which part of Mexico are you going to retire? In areas where there are a lot of American expatriates or tourists you'll find a lot of Mexicans who can speak English. (Chapala,Cancun,etc.) Outside of these areas, very few Mexicans speak English. It shouldn't be that difficult, most Mexicans are very polite and helpful. You'll be able to get along, but it'll be MUCH easier if you at least know basic Spanish. I'd focus on learning very well the numbers first because your most common interaction with Mexicans will be in stores. Many's the time I've seen a Mexican store clerk counting out change from the outstretched hand of a befuddled gringo who doesn't speak Spanish. ¡Buena suerte!<p>: Hi
