Hiiii First, start with basics and more common structures. Use visual aids. Give your students feedback. And push them to expose themselves to English. Good luck😊

I use A1 to B2 books and worksheets. Also, I allow translation and make myself immersed with their language as well. It will also be helpful if you will use pictures.

For starters watch movies, listen to music and read articles as well as novels oh and do not forget to have a dictionary beside you to check on any difficult words.
I would suggest: 1 Regularly listening to English through podcasts, movies, or music. 2 Engaging in English activities related to your interests 3 Being persistent and consistent in your learning efforts On busy days, try to study for at least 5 minutes. This can help maintain your progress.

I would first teach pronunciation of the most basic verbs, then a few basic nouns, and then work through a basic sentence structure using the few vocab words that were shown. Making a couple different sentences should help get a feel for the grammar rules of English and can be built on from there. Using images to match a vocab word to a photo is also a great way to help them memorize the new words in the long run. Hope this helps!
One consideration would be to start simple with the basics, such as the first learning the English Alphabet, watching TV shows, and listening to music in English to immerse oneself in the language as much as possible. Above all, be patient with yourself when learning the English Language. -- John A.
It is dependent on age, level of English, country of origin, effective communication skills, so you have to be specific in your question.

Teaching comes with its share of joys and challenges. Have you ever had a moment where a student’s success story completely changed your perspective on teaching? Share that story and what it taught you about the impact we have as educators.
- Let’s learn from each other
As teachers, we all have moments when our patience and emotions are tested, perhaps due to something a student said or did. While teaching is fulfilling, there are tough days too. What matters most is how we handle those situations. Could you share an experience where you had to control your emotions and how you managed it? Your story might inspire and help others navigate similar challenges
