Learning Filipino

The goal of this course is to have you speaking functional Tagalog that you can use in your day to day life so that you can enjoy basic conversations with native Filipino speakers.

If you happen to have Filipino family and friends, you will be able to use this as a stepping stool to initiate and participate in conversations with them.

Likewise, even if you do not have a Filipino person to practice with, this course is interactive enough so that you will be able to test your Tagalog skills right away.

Using multiple techniques, including the use of dialogues, imagery, contextual learning, summarization, and practice testing, you will find this course a fun and easy way to learn Tagalog.

I am excited for you to soon be able to listen, read, write, and speak in Tagalog!

Target Audience:

• It is designed for students with little or no knowledge of the Filipino language.
• It is crucial for beginners who would like to dive right in to learning a language through conversations.
• Students will come out of the course garnering a greater enthusiasm for the Filipino language, country, and culture.
• This course is NOT for students interested in verb tenses and more advanced topics.

(This same course was first published on UDemy, the largest online teaching marketplace, and this is what students say about Tagalog for Beginners.)

• Excellent course ! Explanations are very clear for understanding the structure of sentences in Tagalog. I can learn lots of vocabulary. She asks to make my own sentences. So far this is the Best course that I have found. Explanations are in excellent English too. If she speaks too fast then I can adjust the speed of the video. Highly recommend her as a Tagalog teacher. Thank you very much! – Phil
• Straight-forward but interesting. I just learned more in 5 minutes than I did yesterday, when I tried Pimsleur... – Maurice T

• The Tagalog language has some confusing concepts and a different grammatical structure to English, but this course starts simple and builds gradually but rapidly, making it very worthwhile to take. It gives the foundation to build your own sentences, but also gives you a decent contextual vocabulary for common situations and conversations with Filipinos. It's the beginning of a new dawn of Tagalog speaking for me. Just wish I'd taken this course ten years ago. I look forward to more courses in Tagalog by this instructor. – Ben G
