Hi from Cambridge

[Dunc]

Hi, I have recently moved to Cambridge and am a male widower with a 4 year old boy.
I speak Thai and Japanese but as a keen diver who has made several visits to Mindoro and Cebu, I would
really like to learn some Tagalog. I understand there is a large Fillipino community here in Cambridge and
wondered if there was anyone willing to teach me.
Salamat, Duncan

Duncan ... :welcomex: to our online fellowship; there is, indeed, a thriving Filipino Community in Cambridge, I believe.

I lived in the Kannai area of Yokohama. (walking distance to the office)
I was involved in the development of the Shinkansen trains as consultant engineer. Actually managed to drive one out of Nagoya.
I met my wife in Japan and we really enjoyed our life there.

Ikiana Gagalak Kong Makilala Kayo Duncan - Pleased to meet you Ducan and welcome

If you put a search in You tube for Learn Tagalog they have a few basic lessons to start you off. Not the same as learning from someone but a start.
