if you want to learn greek, try to get into contact with local students. being in the country is the best way to learn it. at university and with other exchange students you will mostly english, which also improves your language skills.

sometimes your bank blocks your account when they notice you are withdrawing a lot of money abroad. they think your card is stolen. so maybe its good to inform your bank beforehand.
