I picked up Spanish within 2 years and I speak and read and write just as good as any local there. Unfortunately, I grew up speaking English but I can understand Tagalog when I hear it but I can't say the same about reading/writing/speaking. That's why I want to re-learn Tagalog, and about my country so I can teach my children their roots. I really like your page. It's a good start.

We had a hard time finding a good Tagalog class for Book Boy and Ballet Girl. We found one at a school on Saturdays but there were just too many kids in the class from different grades. Any ideas?

She decided on the philippines when we saw a lady on the street and she said that she was chinese and I asked how she knew that and the conversation developed and I told her that not all people who look like the lady are from the china. She became quite interested and has had fun so far learning about and looking at photos of eagles and so on. In researching learning tools your site has come in very handy. It has been rather nice to see and use your resources and enlightening to know that there are many similarities in the hardships some of the urban areas of the philippines have to my country of origin Nigeria. How much we take for granted. I have enjoyed learning more. and shall definitely pass on as much to my daughter who is six now. Thanks.

Really well done. What's interesting is that the basic language of Tagalog is very unique sounding. However, the days of the week are almost identical to Spanish. Isn't that interesting? Keep it up buddy. Take care and let's chat soon. I enjoyed that article. Really well done. What’s interesting is that the basic language of Tagalog is very unique sounding.
