Answer:

He was able to communicate with the Aztecs because he had an interpreter with him named Geronimo de Aguilar. Aguilar was Spanish, a Franciscan friar, who had been shipwrecked on the coast of Yucatan back in 1511, Because Aguilar spoke both Spanish and fluent Mayan, he was able to interpret for Cortes.
