If you should encounter any difficulty when trying to communicate in English just use very simple slow English and if that doesn't work write it down. Most Japanese have a lot of passive English knowledge from their Jr. high school days but just have not had the chance to use it so may be a little rusty but will enjoy talking with you and it helps to build their openness to others and their self-confidence. :-)
