My wife's 1st language is Illongo (she also speaks Cebuano & Tagalog), but she says it makes sense for me to learn Tagalog. I have a genuine desire to learn it, but it's so difficult! I know some words and phrases, but that's about it. I've bought several books over the years, but personally I learn best in a "classroom environment", rather than by myself from books. I wish it was taught at the local evening classes.
