The majority of Cypriots speak English and many of the shop staff and waiters etc are Eastern Europeans who also speak English so language is not a problem.
There are time of course that it can be a hindrance in certain things but for day to day living it is fine.
Of course it is nice to learn some Greek and the Cypriots to appreciate it if you try to say a few things in their language.
