Don't forget to apply to the modern greek lessons cause it's very important for the social life, to read at least what's written in the metro and to communicate with basis while lost on an island or whatever !

Don't think that everybody in Europe speaks English. Even in the university this is certainly not always the case. Moreover, if your English is quite good, some people treat you in a rather adverse way.
