Personal comments
Teachers are sometimes absolutely not able to speak English.
French and Spanish students are sometimes really hard to understand because of there pronunciation.
In everyday life the differences are very high. Some Greek people got strange or even angry when you don't speak Greek. A big surprise was that lots of very young people were already able to speak English.

Sometimes the Greeks do not speak english very good. But at least it is no problem to live there without the greek language, but i would recommend everybody to learn the basics, specially the spelling.

Not many people can speak English in Athens. But they are very helpful and friendly most of the time, so in the end it was no problem to understand each other.
