GEN: need help with Turkish student

["Brenda L. Young" <brenda.young@OPS.ORG>]

We are getting a new student, a 6th grade boy, tomorrow who has just
arrived in the U.S. from Turkey and does not speak any English.
Apparently he does have a translating dictionary to help him in school but
I would like to learn some general phrases so we can communicate a  little
with him.  He is very nervous about attending school in America and we'd
like to make this as painless as possible for him.  If anyone can send me
some general words or phrases that we might use with him (including
pronunciation), I would be most grateful. Thanks!
