Learn Tagalog Fast app for iPhone and iPad

I believe conversational Tagalog should be easy to learn and that you can have fun doing it.

In fact you already know 50% of it!

The course makes heavy use of Taglish, i.e. Tagalog + English, which is commonly spoken in the Philippines. This will allow you to quickly engage with local speakers in a confident manner.

I hate long lists of verbs, adjectives and nouns to learn. This is the most ineffective way of learning the basics: its slow, boring and painful. The best way to learn a language is to start speaking it. This is what I focus on.

The first thing you should know is that the goal of this app is to build your confidence and get you beginning to speak and converse with Filipinos. The great thing about Tagalog is that generally any attempt to speak Tagalog is met with great enthusiasm and a big smile from the recipient even if you make a mistake and sound silly. You wont be judged for making mistakes so relax and start making some!

The second thing you should know is that before you start, you should become familiar with some of the most basic words in Tagalog that cover hello, how are you etc.

The final thing you should know before we begin is that Filipinos very often speak Taglish, this is a combination of Tagalog and English though without formally defined rules.
