Y'know, if they would help with his conjugation a bit, they could speed this along.

Maybe parrot his own sentences back to him with the grammar corrected.

also, it would probably be helpful to read to him with finger-tracking. That was my first thought when I realized he had computer support.

TRIVIA
Many homeworlds of the respective species are still divided into countries, but freshly established colonies on other planets are almost always monolithic and basically independent, since they sprawled from a single initial outpost, and time lag involved due to interstellar distances making remote management of the colony from a homeworld to be ineffective and frustrating at best.
