I suspect that it's pretty much the same. I've been through the US school system [up to a master's degree in electrical engineering], and i don't think you'll have much problem in 'converting'. We have a lot of students in our system that are either 'military brats' - and have lived on military bases all over the world - either going to local schools in English [Yank] or the local language, or US govt run schools 'on base'. Now , i suppose quite a few of them have been doing internet classes too. We also have quite a few foreign students showing up, who don't speak either English OR Yank - so they have to be transitioned in their native language. That, of course won't apply to you. I think you will enjoy the experience. After graduating with my Bachelor's degree, i spent nearly 3 years overseas in the near east, and i found the experience invaluable. Best 9f luck!!!
