How many puerto ricans can speak English?

Answer 1

actually it depends on the puerto rican like if they want to speak it they can learn it and if they were raised in Baltimore or somewhere where they spoke english,which is very rare then they are most likely to speak english.But most puerto ricans can't speak English.

Answer 2

According to a 2010 poll, only 10% of Puerto Ricans admit to being bilingual (English/Spanish). 5% of Puerto Rican residents say they only speak English.

Personally, I believe the 5% English-only speakers, but I am doubtful of the veracity of about half of those that say they have no grasp of the English Language. In my experience, most people in Puerto Rico have at least some knowledge of English and could (if forced) communicate in English.

Tourists English-speaking traveling the island (especially in areas not known for the tourist trade) may run into those that refuse to speak English, but many times the person can understand at least some English. If the English speaker makes an attempt to communicate in Spanish, in most cases, the effort will be reciprocated.

Answer 3

Roughly about 70%.
