Hi James, I use direct and indirect object pronouns in my TPRS stories all the time. From very early on I teach "il lui donne" - he gives him - and I just teach it as a whole phrase. It begins to sound right to my students and I rarely have anyone who misplaces the pronoun. The same goes for direct object pronouns. Another way is to show them written text first. You create a story that involves someone giving something to someone else - i.e. a boy from your class gives Lady Gaga a new dress (she needs one!) Use "to her" and "it" whenever it makes sense in the story. If you ask students to read for comprehension, they usually "pick up on" what it means. I then, focus on it with a pointed question - which word do you think means "to her". Students will quickly pick up on it. Then you can work from there to introduce all the other words - how might you say "to me", "to them", etc. I personally wouldn't teach them all in one day, but over the course of several days, it could work. You can always show written text from other perspectives to get in the new words (from Lady Gaga's point of view, etc.) Good luck! I'd be happy to answer any other TPRS questions you might have.

-------------------------------------------Does anyone have a good story line or plot for a TPRS story focusing on direct and indirect object pronouns, or RID pronouns, in general?
