Unless you are wanted by the law, most expats can stay almost forever. ( You can apply for extensions repeatedly ) But to find employment depends highly on your line of work.
The language is a minor issue. Many expats live in HK for years without bothering to learn one note of either Mandarin or Cantonese. But there are some inconveniences when you move about outside of the tourists areas and you'll lose out in bargain shoppings.

Both Chinese and English are official languages of Hong Kong. Check out the link below to see about working there.
Cool choice. They just passed a law about no smoking and they are one of the top safest cities in the world. Which is really amazing, because it is so huge.
Good luck to you and enjoy.
Chinese word for hello, Ni hao (sounds like Nee HaOw).

You should get a working permit. After that, do some research about getting a place to stay and a job. Just remember that, housing is expensive however, millions people in HK are able to get by and so can you.
