Standard of English

There is one really big advantage of learning Tagalog over Thai: the script - I can read Tagalog but never learnt how to read Thai. It also seems pretty much a wysiwyg language, unlike English, of course.

I'm looking forward to learning Tagalog but I fear it will never be as good as Mae's English.

If only your Parents had sent you to a school where you were taught in Taglog

Many Phills can speak good English but are shy or like us somedays with french or german it just flows others it doesn't. I would speak to some of my younger cousins and some days we would have quite complicated and in depth convos other days it would be to much so we would keep it simple.

When my husband told his friends that his wife is a filipina, they asked him, did she knows how to speak english? My husband told them very well....Some think that we filipino don't know how to speak english. How can we communicate with our foreigner husband if we don't know how to speak english?
