You should be able to pick up the language fairly quickly because you are still so young. Also, speaking it at home with your family will help.
Reply:Well, school here is difficult in general comparing to european ones. The standards are quite high, the classes are pretty tough and imagine that the maths we do here in high school, abroad they do them at university. This has to do of course with how much you wanna study and you are ready for it.


As it conserns the level of difficulty for the language..first of all, all greeks will help very much..students and teachers. We had people who didnt speak the language well at our school too and we all helped, its something that greeks do a lot!! you will probably have to pass a test to see whats your greek language level and they will tell you which class you should attend. dont worry anyway..we have many foreigners and nobody has ever complained! you will be fine!!!
