English is preferable since almost every arubans know how to speak english. Though they have their own local dialect, English is still taught at school. Language will depends on who will use it, if you are Spanish or Portuguese it doesn't matter as long as you understand each other.

What if you don't know how to speak English well. Do you think there would be some translators in the island? It could be a good source of income for them. What do you think?

Portuguese is my mother language, so that's my first choice. I talk all three languages, so I guess I'm in luck ^^

To what extent is English taught in schools? Do students have to learn English from an early age, or do they start learning English a little later like in high school?

Do they understand English well? For me, it would be better to talked with them in this language so that we could communicate well. By the way, what is Aruba's native language?:rolleyes:

If you're in Aruba, you could actually speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English language. Well, their is no reason that you can't talk if you're in this place. Of course, English is very easy, its our international language. Which do you prefer to use Spanish, Portuguese, or English?:rolleyes:

In the above mentioned languages, I only know how to speak English. Aside from these, what are the other languages that they know? Could they speak French or Arabic?

Do you know how to speak these languages, Brandy? I am not quite sure if some of the locals know how to speak French or Arabic. There are lots of people in the island. You would only know that once you get there.
