Lesson Plan:
Introduction
Explain the goals of the lesson and the topics that will be covered.

Icebreaker Activity
Conduct a brief icebreaker activity to create a relaxed and engaging learning environment. For example, I'll ask participants to share their name, their motivation for learning the language, and one interesting fact about themselves.

Language Basics
Present an overview of the language's alphabet, pronunciation, and basic phonetics.
Provide examples and encourage participants to repeat after you to practice pronunciation.
Share any unique aspects or challenges of the language that learners should be aware of.

Greetings and Introductions
Introduce common greetings and expressions used in everyday conversations.
Teach participants how to say "hello," "goodbye," "thank you," and "please" in the target language.

Conversational Practice [if a group setting]
Divide participants into pairs or small groups using breakout rooms (if using video conferencing software).
Assign role plays or scenarios where participants can practice using the greetings and introductions they learned.
Encourage participants to switch roles to practice both initiating and responding to greetings.

Q&A and Feedback
Share thoughts and suggestions for future lessons.
