Before you start anything, you should let the person know about the origin of this language so he/she can understand where it's coming from and what it associates itself with. Phonetics is a very important aspect in a language. Personally, I would begin by teaching this person the alphabet in the foreign language and how each letter is pronounced. Doing this will help the person speak it as well as write it. The you'd have to go on to consonant, vowel, and consonant/vol combinations and how they are pronounced. This way the person will be able to read aloud. After that, I would teach the person very basic words like table, floor, apple, bed, chair. Things like that. Then I would go on to pronouns like I, he, she, it, they, them, etc. While you are doing this, it's very important that this person actually hears you talk in whichever language you are teaching him/her. Text books don't even compare to learning a language aurally. So make sure to talk a lot. Exposing the person to foreign films in that language also helps. After the person gets a hang of it, start teaching him/her basic phrases like "My name is-" "Good afternoon" "Where is the loo?". Then you can get a bit more complicated and start with sentence structures and such. I hope this helped.

A song! Music is a an activity that opens the mind.
Then the basics- use common words they can use daily and perfect those as they are used. Create a conversational language for you two- Greetings, drinks, foods, names and Q& A.
Then the primary essentials- the alphabet and language usage.
Audio tapes are the best ways I learned. I needed to hear the way its being used.
Best wishes

i cant do this in 200 words but you can always start by teaching them the basics of the language like the alphabet. then go on to little sent. like basic greetings and stuff. then go on from there. besides you cant teach a language in a little amount of time. if u have a year to spare, don't teach them nothing just talk in the language they have to learn. eventually, they'll learn. its human instincts

Start with objects. Name and touch them at the same time. Then verbs using facial expressions and body movements saying the verbs. Also learn their language the same way at the same time.The faster you both can communicate, the faster you both can learn.

The easiest way would be to take basic, everyday items, point to them and give them the name. Then act out verbs and emotions, giving them the names. For them to look at how the words were spelled, I'd put labels on each item.

I will teach "First person singular" first, then second person singular, then third person singular, then the sky, then the meaning of time, then male and female and then parts of the body, and flora and fauna.
