One of the things that make Filipinos happier is hearing a foreigner speak some Tagalog (or whatever dialects). A lot of videos I've seen trending in the Philippines are foreigners speaking/singing in Tagalog or Bisaya, etc. They find it amusing that these foreigners are trying or learning to communicate in our native language, instead of just requiring the Filipinos to speak in English all the time. No wonder that a lot would always ask you "Do you know or speak any Tagalog?"

I try to teach Keith to speak some Tagalog words. His favorite words: SARAP MANOK..hahahaha..Although he often just remembers the naughty words.
