Activity
Teachers and translators
will introduce themselves
and answer any questions
the students have.
Students will either write
down or think of as many
words or letters as they

previous lessons.
The teacher will call on

pronunciation.

person next to them and
practice saying the old

advanced students you
could ask them to make a
sentence with the word.
