How can I have spell check for one language *but NOT* for another in El Capitain?

Question

I want to have spell checking ON for Greek (or any other language you have) and OFF for English.

At the System Preferences (Keyboard -> Text) I have enabled Greek (where it says "Ελληνικά (iSquare)" in the images) as the ONLY enabled language (I have disabled all the others from the pop-up menu (Set Up...) and I have choose it at the same menu.

So Greek spell checking works. But the problem is that when I type an English word, it spell checks that word too! (So if I type: "helloo" it changes it to "hello"!)

This is what I want to avoid!

Is there a way to have the checking done only in Greek and not in English?

So that "Εληνικά" will become "Ελληνικά", but "helloo" will stay "helloo".

The following script will set the spelling language to ONLY Korean and open a TextEdit window.

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH

CommandD()
{
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "d" using [command down, option down]
end tell
EndOfMyScript
}



currentDockHiddenState=$(defaults read com.apple.Dock autohide)
if [[ "$currentDockHiddenState" != "1" ]]; then
    CommandD
fi
