Is English spoken in New Zealand?

beautiful new zealand
Jason B asked:


I’m from Massachusetts and I’m planning to visit the beautiful state of New Zealand this fall. I’ve heard Australia is full of surprises, so New Zealand is definitely one of the places I wish to visit. It appears to be the most popular state.
Anyway, is English widely spoken in New Zealand? Will I be able to understand them? I only know English. Or should I memorize a few phrases in the local language to communicate better? Please advise.
