    Learning Waray

    Hi folks,

    How can i learn Waray?

    My wife speaks it but I wondered if there is a way i can learn it other than from her as at the moment we are apart (till we get the Visa).

    Anybody got any advice, books etc?

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    From the looks of the words posted its a dialect of Bisayan very close to Cebuano in the same way Manc or Scouse are derivatives of English

    My ex teaches Cebuano very well although strangely its your English grammar which will need brushing up on first in order to study and understand the rules

    If your serious let me know and I will give contact details

    Thank you, Keith. I'm still undergoing treatment these days but can still do classes online.

    Waray is one of the eight major languages in the Philippines. It is one of the Visayan languages and is also called Visayan (Waray Visayan) just as Cebuano is called Cebuano Visayan.
