Hi again,
It's Alan - the newbie again. I think this question is directed to all us 'lads' who are lucky enough to have beautiful brides/girlfriends/fiancees from the Phils.
As a teacher, my specialisms are English, Maths and French - in fact, I am lucky enough to speak a bit of another 7 languages (no, I'm not mega-clever - in fact I'm b****y useless at everything else!.)
However, does anyone else think the same as me - ie. Tagalog and Cebuano I just CANNOT get my head around!! - apart from 'salamat' and 'sige' I am rather stumped. Am I on my own or does anyone else share my thoughts about these strange but beautiful tongues?
Alan
