The only thing I can say is "Ako ay pangit panot!"
A few other things aswell maybe but...
Is there a recommended way of learning?
Salamat in advance..

Try the website BYKI . com , http://www.byki.com/ they have free programs to download for lots of languages including tagalog, seems really good so far just need to find more time for it.
Good luck!!
you can try an English-Filipino dictionary so you can get the tagalog/filipino translation of every english word you're interested to know....Salamat/Thanks for your replies guys and girls but I was hoping someone could recommend a dvd or something?

i give u an example british knows how to speak tagalog fluently,like TAWI2... Oddly enough Ana_may, Tawi2 was the first person that sprang to MY mind, too!! Alas he's gone 'AWOL', and quite a number of us have, within the past hour or two, been trying hard to locate the guy's present whereabouts ...
Two books i would recommend Nigel.
1 Basic Tagalog for Foreigners and Non-Tagalogs by Paraluman S. Aspillera.
2 Tagalog-English English Tagalog (Pilipino) Dictionary by Carl R. Galvez Rubino
The Basic tagalog is great and see if you can get it with the CD. I hear it has editions with the CD but i never got one!
Vowels are pronounced like:
a as in ask, grass, alms, far
e as in end, carpet
i as in eve, mete
o as in obey, tobacco
u as in food, moon
This is hard to master unless you practice with your mahal
Then Consonants Ba Ka Da Ga Ha La Ma Na NGa Pa Ra Sa Ta Wa Ya
Ng reminds me of monty python for some reason...the knights who ni. maybe thats just my strange sense of humour.
The Dictionary is big and fully comprehensive and uses more advanced things than the basics.
dont worry arthur,i think hes in honeymoonalready
hes comeback one day
my husband knows tagalog and visayan and he's very proud to speaks our language but sometime we argue a lot if i teach him bcoz our form of sentences is back to front hehe
all things are possible!
I never have taught my husband how to speak tagalog or even my own native language which is Ilonggo. But sometimes I've got shocked when he tries to ask me for "a cup of tea" because he said it in tagalog correctly and perfectly and no accent at all. I asked him when and how did he learn tagalog and he simply reply I have "Rosetta Stone" tagalog audio book in my iPOD. So, he learn it by listening to that. He knows now, if I'm angry cause Im counting him from 1 to 10 but the sad factor is I will starting in 1 and he will finish the counting until he reach 10.
i cant wait to learn tagalog , anne will teach me when she arrives here , as we both want to teach our children to speak both english and tagalog
as for now i have learnt a little and this is enough to make any filipina happy
mahal kita = i love you
mahal din kita = i love you too
mahal n mahal kita = i love you so much
mahal kita asawa ko = i love you my wife
ko = my ( but as you have noticed it is placed after wife instead of before like u would expect in english , using this knowledge u will find it easy to construct a sentence in tagalog

Hi Charlwill! Firstly, my apologies to Nigel for posting this message here. I'm just happy knowing about your dialect which is Ilonggo as I myself can speak it with fluency. I have worked in Iloilo for 2yrs back in 2005-2007. Halong! Salamat gid! (Take care & ThankU)
