How difficult is living in Taiwan when you don't speak Chinese?

I have lived in Taiwan since 2008 and speak only a basic level of Chinese, but there are some foreigners that live here for decades without ever learning the language at all! How do they do it and how difficult is daily life in Taiwan without knowing the local language?!
