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).
