It began in the Philippines in 2007. Fiona and I, both freelance translators at the time, had just moved to Los Baños. Since Tagalog was now a part of my everyday life, I set out to really learn the language. I bought some books and started to learn it on my own as I had done with other languages in the past. But this time, it was different. Tagalo...

The goal of this course is simple: To get you to speak Tagalog fluently in a fast, fun and easy way. The course will get you to the point where you can understand and participate in everyday Tagalog conversations.
This course teaches Tagalog by example and repetition, using natural dialogues and drills taken from everyday life in the Philippines.
The advantage of using natural dialogues is that they teach you the “whole” language in its cultural context with all its nuances, emotions, typical expressions and choice of words, all of which depend on the situation. The stories are engaging and easy to relate to. As a result, you will be able to apply what you learn intuitively in your own life...
The sentence patterns in the stories are reinforced and expanded in the drills. The drills also introduce new vocabulary and related expressions.
The lessons have been carefully designed to introduce new material little by little in order of importance. There is some degree of repetition and overlap, which allows you to recall and reinforce what you have already learned. After having immersed yourself in the hundreds of sentences in the course, you will get a feel for how Tagalog works, and ...
The audio recordings are an important part of the course. Together with the pronunciation marks in the text, they will help you to learn the correct pronunciation by repeating the sentences out loud. Furthermore, the natural intonation in the recordings will help you better understand and remember the sentences.
The meaning of each Tagalog word or group of words is presented in the literal translations, in a matching color. The literal translations are only attempts at capturing the exact meaning of the words. Sometimes, there is no corresponding word in English, and then a descriptive hint is presented between square brackets. The literal translations als...
The exercises in the workbooks are an ideal way to practice the vocabulary and sentence patterns you have learned in the lessons. They also allow you to check your progress. An answer key is provided at the end of each workbook.
Go through the first lessons as fast as you feel comfortable. Be sure not to skip anything completely because some important topics are covered early on. As you start to encounter more new material, you may want to slow down and split a lesson over two or three days (or over two or three sessions on the same day).
You might want to take the whole course as a refresher, skimming the parts you find too easy. However, we recommend reading the notes as they may contain interesting pointers to grammar topics. Listening to the audio recordings while reading along on the overview pages is a good way to reactivate your knowledge. When there is something you don’t un...
