MU Fan in Connecticut

In short, you're both right.  They teach English virtually everywhere, but they don't speak it much in the small towns.  Hell, I know enough Spanish, French and Japanese to survive, but if one of those native speakers came to my town, I'm not going to try to be the village translator if I know there's someone more capable.

That's me.  I can get by fine in French, Spanish & Polish, but don't ask me to be translator because I'm not fluent especially when it comes to listening and replying.  I don't use very regularly.  Reading is much easier.
