I've only had a few non- speakers of English. For the young lady from Bosnia, I bought many picture dictionaries and an Albanian dictionary for me. We "read" through the picture dictionaries, me asking her the Albanian word for the pictured item. I checked the Albanian dictionary and showed her the Albanian/English translation in the dictionary. This helped her see that we were talking about the same word. I put signs all over the room, using both English and Albanian. I also arranged to have her read picture books to the Kindergarten students. She did extremely well! Denise
