I'm thinking of taking it in college and I'm not sure whether to or not. Has anybody taken it before or does anybody know how to speak it? Is it difficult to learn?

when you speak filipino or tagalog...what's another easy language you can learn in an american school..?

I was told one answer, but I want to make sure it's right. Thank you.

Well, I'm half Filipino (on my mom's side, of course) and my dad is an American. And every time her and one of her sisters or one of her Filipino friends talk on the phone, she talks so loud! And while we're at Wal mart, she talks so loud in her native language, people keep staring at her in the store. I just wonder why Filipinos talk so loud on the phone.

"I hope you are having a good week, Matthew. I love you and think of you always."

thanks!

I'm writing a story for English class and I decided that I want to write about a Filipino FOB. The problem is, I don't know where to start - when the Filipino goes on the boat to America, or when he gets there and looks for a job?

What kinds of problems could the Filipino face that could serve as the rising and climax of the story? Any creative ideas?

i just dont feel comfortable speaking in tagalog in other countries, i feel like the accent is funny..... if u've heard someone speak tagalog, what does it sound like? i mean, if you hear someone speak, what language comes into ur mind? JUST WANNA GET SOME IDEAS... NOTHING PERSONAL
ok thx 4 ur answers, but what about it? if u hear it, what language comes into ur mind? spanish? chinese? or somthin else?

i.e. boondocks

I just notice since few days ago that there are too many new accounts like mine who are asking almost the same questions every day. So let's see if these answerers and askers can translate this into English or their own language/ dialect.. I hope

"Kapag wala ang pusa naglalaro ang mga daga."

and

"Bato-bato sa langit, ang tamaan 'wag magagalit."

Thanks!

I listened to Filipino talk since I was born but I don't speak it. I know pronunciation already and am almost fluent in Spanish. How difficult or how much easier would it be for me to learn Tagalog? It the structure more difficult than Spanish or easier?

1. Will someone explain how early and under what conditions different people are likely to begin using English in the RP?
2. How would you attribute levels of proficiency in English: Urban living, economic opportunity, media exposure?
3. If any answers come from the internet cafe' perhaps you might answer for your more agrarian brethren.

Can someone translate this for me please ?? By there way, there may be some slang in this. "Ay naku! wala e..isang dakilang PAL". PAL might be Philippine Airlines? Thanks

I want to learn Tagalog for informal conversation, does not have to be classroom -formal.

Are you concerned about locals talking "over your head" "around you" and "underneath you" without knowing the topic of discussion?

Do you observe body language,facial gestures and small key words as indicators to aid your understanding of what is going on around you?

Would you learn the native language and speak it fluently but keep it secret for protection?or would you love to display your ability to speak the native language openly and proudly?

What do you think?

I'm not sure exactly what specifically I might want to read but I do want to read accounts of filipino americans who discuss how it was difficult socially to grow up in america and perhaps why they like or didn't like their upbringing with traditional filipino parents among other family conflicts that happen being 1st generation americans of filipino descent.

My cousin's middle name is 'Industan' but he won't tell me how to pronounce it (his father is Filipino, so they gave him that middle name). How would I pronounce it?
