Should I Bother Learning Tagalog Before Visiting the Philippines Dec 15

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!

Why I Really Like the Pimsleur Tagalog Courses! May 07

Just wanted to let you know why I think the Pimsleur Tagalog courses are the best bang for your buck.
  1. Pimsleur Language Courses are audio courses. Since there are no books included, the Pimsleur courses are great way to learn while driving, exercising, etc.
  2. The Pimsleur language courses teach you to both speak and understand a new language. You’re not just learning “phrases” with the Pimsleur method, you’re acquiring essential, conversational language skills! You’ll be thrilled to discover you can hold real conversations in your new language when you have finished the course.
  3. Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s original and unique method enables you to acquire new language ability as effortlessly as children absorb their native language. You will succeed because the Pimsleur program makes sure that you learn vocabulary and grammar correctly and easily in conversational settings without mindless repetition. Pimsleur is the only language program that includes exclusive, copyrighted memory training that ensures you will always remember what you have learned.
  4. The Pimsleur audio programs use a natural mode of interactive communication – questions and answers; statements and rejoinder; give and take — beginning with the most-frequently-utilized vocabulary native speakers use in their everyday conversations with each other. These are the most useful words and structures every language learner needs to insure communication. It is like having a personal tutor. This along with the GraduatedInterval Recall theory and the Principle of Anticipation, makes the Pimsleur language courses the most effective courses on the market today.
  5. You can even try a lesson for free before you decide to purchase the course.

After I married my Filipina wife, I really didn’t know how to get her to the States. I ended up paying hundreds to a lady who walked us through the paperwork. Oh I wish I had this book. It’s by Perry Gamsby, a straight talking Aussie, who is also married to a lovely Filipina.  This is a GREAT resourse if you are married to a Filipina, or thinking about it.
