Contrary to all that I had read beforehand I found it really easy to get around Shanghai, without having any Mandarin.
I had studiously learnt how to count, but found prices in English and Chinese. Where there could have been confusion at markets, there were calculators.
Metro has fares in English and Chinese.
One thing though, it does help to have addresses written in Chinese if you want to catch a taxi.
