I'm finally getting in to a rhythm of teaching English to my one and only student (who already knew some English when I started working with him).

I am soon to have another student (who, I am told, knows nothing of English) - so first I must interview her. I am having a bit of trouble in knowing what questions would be best to ask, to find out what level of English she is really on.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

A friend of mine, commented that I should use flash cards with the following item categories: Food, Colors, Numbers, Animals, etc.

While this is all well and good, are there any important things I need to know to determine the level, or would the flash cards be sufficient?

Thanks
