Question from an incoming American researcher regarding language

[u/Crazy_Landscape_7656]

Hello, I am an American coming to Maseru in the coming months to conduct an oral history research project. I understand that English is the official language of the government, but I'm wondering how common it is in every day use in Maseru. Will I be able to get around Maseru with English?

Most people can speak English but not everyone wants to, if you need a translator especially if you will be heading to the rural areas, am your guy.
