I'm leaving for the camino in late July, and I'll be there through August. I'm just curious, how difficult will it be for me to communicate as an American mostly English-only speaker? I can understand Latin American Spanish pretty well; I lived in New York for a few years and have traveled to Central America, and I have a good deal of Ltin study, so I can usually understand about 80% of Spanish, I just can't say anything back. I also speak pretty good German.
Will I be able to get by or am I going to need to bone up significantly on my Spanish? I assume English is a kind of lingua Franca on the camino.
