Answer #1
The books you have should be good. You’ll also use gestures and body language to help explain. Pictures are also worth 1000 words. If you have a picture of an orange, you don’t need to know the word for it in Korean.
Also, you might have a co-teacher who can help explain things if you need help.
In addition, many students have some knowledge of English. So they could also help each other.
