English speakers are usually easiest to find at universities, goverment and turism. Hotels are probably good.
Check your pockets, check what clothes you wear and figure out your gender (by checking for breasts or beard/stubble).
That gender thing is always stupid to write out. I do know a silly one that doesn't require stripping should our person be too young.

Has it occured to you that we may simply have lost grasp of the knowledge of letters and therefore, we will never find any signs we can read or people who can understand us?
Addition to orders: If finding anything with writing on in the pockets, try reading it. If we can read it, figure out what language it is in.

Could be, easiest way to test it is writing something down and reread it, twice to cover if it's a dream. Global Aphasia would be nasty though.

Global what?
Check your pockets
This can be an add-on to the other order, won't take much time.
I think we should try saying hello in French, Spanish, German, and Latin, assuming our character didn't grow up locked in his basement and never came out until now.

You pat yourself down again.
After reaffirming that you are, in fact, still a man, you reach into your pockets.
In your left pocket you find your phone. In your right, your wallet.
Your phone has no new messages or missed calls, but for some reason you understand why.
Your wallet has photo ID of yourself. It says you are 25.
So we were able to read the words on the ID, or just the numbers?

You open your wallet again. You can read the ID. It has normal registration.
Taking it out of your wallet, you discover nothing on the back of it, but sitting behind it is another card.
Its hard plastic, and its mainly blue. You can't understand the words on it, but along the bottom are some circles, fading away from right to left. Along the top is a bunch of different pictures.
We can understand english at least, so it's not global whatsits. Are those circles on the blue card the same as the rings on the blue building?

No, picture of the circles on the blue card:
