However, we can consider these factors:
* Official Language: Spanish is the official language of Ecuador.
* English as a Second Language: English is commonly taught in schools and universities, and many people in urban areas, especially those involved in tourism and business, have some level of English proficiency.
* Regional Variations: English proficiency tends to be higher in areas with greater tourism and international business activity, such as Guayaquil and Quito.
Therefore, while an exact number is unavailable, it's safe to assume that a significant portion of the Ecuadorian population has at least some understanding of English, particularly in urban areas.
