ATC is in english in the US, and nobody seems to request accomodations
for non-english speaking pilots (hell i think the FAR stipulates that
the pilot must speak english). But if i'm flying into Germany, for
example, would I be speaking to their ATC in german or english? What
about Mexico? What if i'm a mexican pilot would it be english or
spanish?

A softball question? English is the ICAO international language of
aviation. ATC communications everywhere are in English.

Delicious irony, no?
