Would you learn Tagalog? Nagsasalita ba kayo ng Tagalog?

[GaryFifer]

Nag-aaral akong magsalita ng Tagalog. (I am learning to speak Tagalog)Nagsalalita ako ng kaunti lamang?(Do you speak tagalog?)

One i found useful on tricycles. Hindi tama ang sukli (this is not the correct change) Anyways, if you guys are interested in learning the ladies language in case she is galit :)

This site is really fun, because you can HEAR the words.

[GaryFifer]

Whats that?Bisaya and Ilonga is a little bit different right? Like Maayo.Is it different words for hello or is it accent?

Nagtatampo ka ba?
Are you sulking? (Are you miffed at me?)

Pwede ba kitang lapitan?
Can I come near you?

Pakinggan mo ako.
Listen to me

Huwag kang magalit.
Don't get angry.

Kaibigan ko lang siya.
She/He is just a friend.

Nasaktan ba kita?
Did I hurt you?

Hindi ko sinadyang saktan ka.
I didn't mean to hurt you.

[Marwin08]

My hubby is learning cebuano because he booked a trip to cebu on november.
Sad thing he's not interested learning my dialect ilocano hehehe

[PeterB]

If I ever get to grips with Bisaya. I might consider learning Tagalog.

If I apply for Filipino nationality in four years time, I need to be able to speak and write a major Filipino language.

[fhara]

my bf's favorite tagalog word is "dito" he used it when he says "same here".:)

[alicat]

its very hard work,everynight i teach my hubby 2 to 3 words
of tagalog,after one mounth,i just give up,i cant do it anymore.

[Geraldine]

My husband doesnt make an effort to learn Tagalog which is fine by me, at least he wont understand what we talk about when my mates are around :icon_lol: however he speaks Thai! :doh Everytime we are in Thailand, the Thais talk to me in their language bec they assume Im Thai then my husband will speak to them in Thai saying Im Filipino and doesnt speak Thai. Then they'll look at us, then I'll say yes its true..then we all laugh. :)

[maria_and_matt]

My wife's trying to help me speak Cebuano, after 5 years I learned about
10 words, she gave up on me.

[jonnijon]

Thats a good question Jimeve,never seem to be able to find one with the spoken word,there are plenty of written words but have never found an audio.

have a look in post office in your area i seen some cd or dvd's there

[GaryFifer]

Its tricky to find books on Bisaya.Can anyone recommend a book they have. I had no luck previously because I think I had been using the wrong word Visaya.

[chris40]

a usefull site i found was www.tagalog1.com ,lots of lessons and a bit of speech too.

[PeterB]

I found one learn Cebuano CD, which I ordered frome the USA, but it's absolutely useless.

However, searching just now has revealed another one, which looks like it might be better - just Google 'Learn Cebuano'.

[silver13]

Paul is making a lot of progress with his Tagalog learning, now he downloaded the lyrics of the song ANAK and tried to translate it, we'll see how far he goes :-) It helps him by listening Tagalog music. His eager to learn, that's a good sign :-) but when I talk in Ilocano, he's lost :-)

[cruisingkerry]

Berts sister gave me her sons tagalog- english school dictionary - but for some reason there is no J or K tagalog words??

[chris40]

i have an english -tagalog dictionary and the k comes after b in it and did,nt see the k at first. take another look in case you missed it too .

[cruisingkerry]

Thanks for that Chris, it certainly does, however I still haven't got J (do no words begin with J?) and the end of the alphabet is sparse too no Q, no U, V, X or Z.

[andypaul]

Great minds think alike.

I wonder how many of da phills on here are now thinking oh no why did i mention the pair of shoes on the phone to my mate now with the hubby in the room:icon_lol:

[GaryFifer]

If her name is Imelda :)I am sure hubby will find out eventually.

[miayela]

My hubby knows little tagalog and ilonggo since im from Iloilo..

He surprised me one time when me and my friends were talking in Ilonggo that he understand what we are talking about..

It shows that Im a good teacher and that his eager to learn our language.:)

[flomike]

I think my husband is quite good actually in learning filipino/tagalog language he knows most of the part of his body in filipino, he can compose a sentence in filipino in a very funny way but still a good effort. I stopped teaching him but bec we use to go pinoy party most of the time he is learning by hearing it as you know some filipino words mostly are repitition or we use same words again ang again like (oo, bakit, oo naman, sige, doon, dito, saan etc).
