The short answer is definitely yes. Knowing Tagalog will set you apart from the thousands of visitors who haven’t bothered to learn the main language of the Philippines. It will definitely be worth your time and energy learning Tagalog whether you have a husband, wife, penpal or just visiting the Philippines. Even if Tagalog it is not the person’s first language, chances are, they have learned it as a second language.

Aren’t you tired of sitting in the middle of a crowd of people speaking a language you don’t understand? Believe me I feel your pain. When I met my girlfriend, later my wife, I was so frustrated not being able to understand the conversations she was having with her friends and relatives. Just the thought of trying to learn this language was overwhelming! Finally I learned a little secret.

Here is the little secret to getting along in this fascinating language. Learn these common complimentary phrases first:

• Sige na! (using said in a pleading way means “come on!” or “go on!”
• Mahal kita! (always an appreciated phrase means “I love you.”)
• Maganda ka (you’re beautiful)
• Gwapo ka. (You’re handsome)
• Masarap! (Said while eating means delicious!)
• Maganda ang _________ mo! (Your ______ is beautiful.)
• mata, buhok, ipin, katawan, mukha (eyes, hair, teeth, body, face)
• Maraming salamat! (Thank you very much!)

I guarantee you that you will be the hit of the party. Many, many doors will open for you when you begin to speak just a little Tagalog. Then, as you become more proficient, word will spread that you re a person that has taken the time to learn their language and their appreciation will be shown in many ways.

WARNING: When you start to speak Tagalog, even just a few words and phrases, you will be getting more compliments and favors than you would have believed possible!

Learning languages is not so hard if you have the right attitude, method and resources. I’ve been studying Tagalog for a while with good success. I use a multi-pronged approach.

First, I start with the Pimsleur Method course to get a few basic phrases. This course is all audio so I listen to it with either my MP3 player or on my CD player. And each lesson is only thirty minutes, so it’s not a big inconvenience with my time. Then because I’ve learned over the years that I really have to see what I’m saying, I go through some lessons on the Rosetta Stone software Tagalog course.

Also, where ever I go I always carry in my book bag, my language learning books. I like the book, Conversational Tagalog, by Teresita Ramos. Finally, I try to use what I’ve learned with a native speaker, usually, my Filipina wife. She’ll tell me that what I’m saying either sounds right or my pronunciation isn’t very good. I tell her to be honest, because that’s the only way I’ll learn and she’s not going to hurt my feelings if I’m not saying it right. At night I, before dozing off, I try to review in my mind, the phrases I’ve been learning that day, imagining I’m in the Philippines and talking to a Filipino. In my mind, my Filipino friend ALWAYS tells me I speak Tagalog very well!
