Lingala help!

I work in a school with a large population of refugees from the Congo. A lot of them only speak Lingala, so giving direction is quite difficult at times. I've done some google searching, but seeing as this isn't a very popular language for English-speaking people to learn, I haven't found a lot. Honestly, I just need basics for directions, like "sit down," "thank you," "please," and "wait." There is a translator, but she is vastly overwhelmed because every class has at least one Lingala-only student. Any help would be much appreciated!
