Everyone is welcome to attend services or mass in the church, but only a person who is an Orthodox Christian can receive Holy Communion in an Orthodox Church.
Catholics and others are welcome to attend an Orthodox service, but they are not permitted to receive the Eucharist, as this is reserved for members of the Orthodox Faith alone.
Orthodox Christians do not refer to it as mass, but the Divine Liturgy. What language it is performed in depends on the church's ethnicity, though most Orthodox churches in America do it mostly in English. If it is a Greek church, then it is partially in Greek; if Russian, then in Russian; etc. But, like I said, the majority is done in English. In Antiochian Orthodox Churches, the entire liturgy is in English.
Under normal conditions a Roman Catholic cannot substitute a Coptic Mass, which is an Orthodox Church, for his Sunday obligation to assist at a Catholic Mass unless there is no Catholic Church in the area. However, a Catholic may attend a Coptic wedding or funeral in the same way he may attend a Protestant funeral or wedding.

Yes, it is his/her free choice to select the faith that me/she is convinced in. It is one of human rights to believe in the faith that he/she is convinced in..Catholic AnswerTechnically, the Orthodox religion is in schism with the Catholic Church, so, although this would not be apostasy (which is giving up the Christian faith altogether), it will still be giving up the fullness of the Christian faith in union with the Pope. However, there is no need to do this, when the Orthodox left the Church, each Rite broke in two, thus there is a Uniate Rite for each Orthodox Church. Thus the Greek Uniate Church is still in communion with Rome, and a person may obtain permission to change their Rite or they may just attend Mass at another Rite.
The most common reason to attend Catholic church is to attend Mass, a worship rite dating from the early history of the Church. Celebration of Mass was described in the 14th century as "the source and summit of the Christian life," and allows community worship that is the foundation of Catholicism.
