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.

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.

yeah my husband learning tagalog and visaya

[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 however he speaks Thai! 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]

i admire brits learning our language, my husband couldnt be bothered at all all he knows is pahingi ng redhorse please does not take him far but he always seem to have a good time that phrase!

[vbkelly]

like my husband walking in the walgraves hospital behind him had 2filipina talking tagalog and my husband said to them SINONG BASTOS? the 2filipina said no no no its not you and how did you know we're talking bastos,did you understand tagalog? and my husband said yeah coz my wife is filipina.di ko nga maibenta ang asawa ko haha

[missmiles]

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.

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'.
