How much English is there in Hong Kong?

absolute no problem whatsover - would recommend you stay on hong Kong Island side (as opposed to Kowloon side). everyone speaks english there, and i always think of hong kong as 'far east for beginners'.;

everything is very easy, and very very westernised on HK island side you won't have any problems. its a great placem and i took 7 of my english friends and my gf two years ago and they agreed.

I agree with everyone else - I lived there for 8 months and had no problem getting around. Either stick to HK island or Tsim Sha Tsui. Most places have English/Chinese signs. My biggest problem was trying to go to local restaurants - they often didn't have English menus so you either had to know how to say your food in Cantonese or order randomly.

Because Hong Kong was an English colony most of the street signs have both English and Chinese names. People who went to school during the colony times also had to learn English. In the recent years, students can choose between Mandarin or English as their second language, but some schools still only teach English in addition to Cantonese, so you'll be fine.

It is very easy to get around in Hong Kong using only the English language. Most street signs are in both characters and pinyin (roman letters) and the maps are easy to follow. Some taxi drivers might not be able to speak English, but as long as you have your destination written down, you won't have any problems. Additionally, the MTR (subway) and bus system is excellent and you really don't have to take many taxis.)

I've always stayed in Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon side and have had an easy time.

Movie theaters have English, Cantonese and Mandarin offerings. It truly is a multi-lingual city and it is an amazing place to visit. It's expensive, though, so save your money now!

Good luck and enjoy your trip!
