Tagolog speaking westerners

[DarylTooth]

I was in Peterborough yesterday 31/1/15 and a white guy of around 18 started talking to my wife in tagolog. After 19 years of marriage I still only speak a few words of tagolog. He was only the second non Filipino I have met who could hold a conversation in tagolog. He said he had never been to the Phil but his best friend was Filipino. My question is how many of you can speak enough Tagolog to hold a conversation?

Nope...but always thinking I should learn. The problem is my wife speaks Waray Waray so which should I learn first?

If you are gonna learn the lingo..Learn Tagalog first..
Tagalog is taught in every school in the R.P.. At the very least you will be understood.

I can speak enough Cebuano to hold a conversation. I surprised 2 Pinays at Poipet Border Crossing in Cambodia a week or so ago when I conversed with them. It's not difficult if you put your mind to it! :smile:
