Grammar lessons for beginners

Dear Fatima, I've been a teacher for 20 years and have taught many children who arrived not knowing English. People need 6 months to two years of just listening to English before they're ready to start speaking it and reading and writing. Start by giving lessons in simple topics: colors, numbers, verbs, names of things in the home, etc. Try to have hand-on activities, like "Show me the red ball. Show me the blue cup." Or, "Put the picture of the dog on top of the yellow paper. This is called "Total physical response." They listen to you and follow directions. First you model how to do it. Then they practice.
