John D,
I s English your mother tongue? Then I suggest you find a native speaker of English to teach him or he will learn YOUR mistakes.
Like you say, “What is the best to teach him learn some English”. What you mean is “What is the best WAY to teach him some English?”
Public Broadcasting has good shows: Sesame Street, Reading shows, and other bilingual stuff too. And books from the library that you read out loud.
You can do this with help.

kids at that age learn different languages very quickly. their mind is like a sponge absobing all that information. read to him in english, talk to him, sing the abcs to him. he will pick it up very quickly. also point to objects and say what they are. he will pick it up quick!!
I would say that you should read him english books as well as when you say something in his first language, to repeat it in english.
The best way for children 3-5yrs old to learn another language is through playing, songs and stories. Of course a group with interaction is better but maybe you have a friend that would like to have their child learn English as well. Make it a little play group.
Speak English to the child. It will be frustrating in the beginning esp if he speaks none now… but as you go on…. it will get better. Do not ever revert to whatever language you speak with him now. Get yourself some english versions of whatever he is currently into (Dora, Diego, Hi5)… I have found that Sesame Street was very helpful…. songs, counting, alphabet etc….. you have to start from basic. Get some english books and read them to your nephew. I taught my son this way, and he speaks English now…. BUT you must make sure they are all english speakers and they must be always be at least 2 of them not counting your son… this way he is forced to try to communicate so that he is not ignored. These things all worked for me, and I have a friend who is currently trying the same tactics here. Good Luck.
