almost everybody (99%) speaks english.
take the train from basement of schipol to central station for around 3,50 Euro. Take the tram from central to your hotel, or just walk if it's close. Or take a taxi for 50 Euro.
Getting around town: I always liked walking, unless I just wanted to get somewhere quick, and then I'd take the tram, you can buy those big tram tickets at your hotel or central station that cost 6,50 Euro and are good for 10 trips or so across town.

My experience of taxis in the 'Dam is extremely positive. I've had some great rides (oo-er).
Most of the big roads in the 'Dam have a central tram track, a dual carriageway straddling it for regular vehicles, bordered by cycle lanes. The big silver Mercedes taxis seem to be the only vehicles allowed to use all three, sometimes simultaneously, at 50kph+!
I had a great taxi ride back to Schipol on my last-but-one trip. We ordered a taxi from the hotel, and around 15 minutes later a large black Merc screeched to a halt outside reception. A tall, elegeant, gorgeous thirtysomething woman unfolded herself from the drivers seat and sashayed into the reception area: "Taxi for airport?". She was stunning! It was a James Bond experience, hurtling down the A10 at 140kph whilst she chatted on her phone in one beautifully manicured hand, whilst she used the other one to swerve around the busy traffic.
Only in Amsterdam! I should have got her number for next time...
