We have found the most important Spanish to know when you travel to Mexico is numbers. Whenever you make a transaction or wish to discuss money you can get by with gestures and broken Spengish but when it comes time to exchange money you want to make sure the numbers are correct.
There are also countless other times numbers get worked into the equation. This is not to say that you absolutely need to know how to count in Spanish and in fact you can get by writing everything down. Many shopkeepers have large calculators for displaying numbers to gringos.
