What does this mean?
Recently I have been using the app "HelloTalk" to talk to Japanese native speakers, all has been going well with that, but anyways, a person I have spoken to has said "英語の方がいい？" .

I have looked up the meaning of 方がいい and I get results saying "had better" or "had better not", but I do not understand how 英語の is connected to this.

Can somebody explain this to me please?

Answer

"Aの方がいい？" means "Would you prefer A?"
So the Japanese person said "Would you prefer English?"
It means "would you like me to speak English?"
