At the age of 8 we take the first English lessons at public schools, and most of us we continoue English language at private language schools. Most of us in Greece, speak English. I practise them a lot cause i am ham radio operator with hours of on air gsos (chat), also i have close relatives in Scotchdalle Arizona and at Metairie New Orleans. Also via my work on alarm systems, i practise them a lot cause i also make imports.

Spyros,
Very good.  Thanks for the Bio.
I guess I should have reversed the Greek back to English to see if I got
it right or something.  LOL.

BTW I don't know what newsreader you are using but to make your English
a bit better if it has a spell checker, it might help a lot.  Not a
major issue but just a thought.

Now I can tell my Greek customer/friends that I have been conversing
with an alarm guy is Greece.  How cool is that???

Have a good day.
