When I lived there in the 80s to mid-90s most people I encountered didn't speak much English. I've heard it's different nowadays.

Yeah that makes sense, that’s right about when they started teaching English in schools from grade school on. That’s why everyone under 40 tends to speak great English but over 40 and it’s hit or miss.
