The English-speaking Waiter Thanasis is 10 years old and lives in a small village on a beautiful Greek island. Like all children his age, Thanasis has just completed year 4 in primary school. But unlike other children his age, Thanasis also has a full-time job for two months of the year. In the busy summer months Thanasis is a waiter in his family’s restaurant. In July and August, the restaurant is very popular with tourists from all over the world. Because he is the only person in his family who can speak English, it is his job to look after the tourists when they eat at the restaurant. He explains the menu, he takes their order and he even carries the heavy trays to their tables. Where did he learn his English? There is no school in Thanasis’s village, and during the school year he travels 12 kilometres every day by bus to a nearby village to go to school. Together with his classmates, two evenings a week, he attends classes at a language school in the same village. There is no bus service when his classes end, so his mother picks him up and brings him home.
