I know that I want him to have a grasp of dov culture so he can better understand the language at a fundamental level, and I've got that down, but I'm not really sure where to go from there. I've been looking to the Learn lessons for guidance, but... I don't know. It isn't enough, and I feel kind of lost. I'm confident in my knowledge, I just don't know how exactly to present it. Does anyone have any advice they'd like to offer? Or experience teaching someone the language? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Don't know if this is too helpful but so far I've found the Memrise course to be really good. I'm usually dreadful at memorization, but I've actually learned a bunch of words off it in jsut a few days now.

Maybe find some relevant phrases from the game, and practice with each other inserting them into day to day conversation. That could help build vocabulary and connect with the language a bit more.

I bought Skyrim on Steam, installed some Co-Op mods and now I'm playing with my friend, both speaking in Dovahzul :D

 So awesome...

Try memrise council tho, helped me a lot.
