well im of filipino descent. im both an english and tagalog speaker. will it be a hard language to learn even though i know how to speak an asian language?

I mean what do they think of the foreigners? Do they think that these are really bad people? I am talking about Filipino society as a whole. How do Filipinos view these white people that are visiting their country? Are those smiles that they flash at the foreigners fake smiles? Is their kindness put on?

We are now in our junior year in college. Our topic should have something to do with english language or reading and as mush as possible it should be quantitative says our teacher. My groupmates and I were thinking of the following:

A. Debunking the myth that when you are good wiht mathematics your poor with using english as a second langugae and vice versa (but we don't know any related studies or articles and we haven't seen a related literature about it. can you suggest some good sites about it?)

B. Common error of using verb tenses of english in written or in oral by FIlipino language learners (we don have any problem regarding the related lit and studies but we are thinking about the tool. most of the related studies were qualitative)

C. teacher behavior or autonomy in class in correlation with the retention of the lesson of the students (no related lit and studies, no tool)

we've been doing learning styles and strategies since sophomore so.. uh as much as possible we want something new.

any suggestion?

What is Computer Science?
Computer Science is the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical processes (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information, whether such information is encoded in bits and bytes in a computer memory or transcribed in genes and protein structures in a human cell. The fundamental question underlying all of computing is: what computational processes can be efficiently automated and implemented?
To tackle this seemingly simple question, computer scientists work in many complementary areas. They study the very nature of computing to determine which problems are (or are not) computable. They compare various algorithms to determine if they provide a correct and efficient solution to a concrete problem. They design programming languages to enable the specification and expression of such algorithms. They design, evaluate, and build comp

I don't understand Tagalog.

Hi I'am a filipino and interested to learn new languages? can you please give what's easier to learn asian or european? if asian what language vice versa? thanks for the help

So I've studied Mandarin Chinese at a university in San Francisco and began to pick up some Cantonese on the way. However, I now am studying in the Philippines, particularly in Davao City where the Chinese people here speak a language called Fookien. I tried to speak to them in Mandarin but most of them can only understand a little, especially the students my age (18). They can't understand Mandarin well and there is no one here that speaks Cantonese either. I don't know anything about the fukien language they speak here or it's origin and culture form where it came from. Many of the fookien speakers here are also celebrate Chinese traditions differently as compared to the ones in America with the common Cantonese and Mandarin speakers. This whole culture shock is new to me despite the fact that I've been to the Philippines several times before and am fluent in 2 Philippine languages. It's just that I've never known about the Chinese community here though I knew it exsisted. I do speak to the people here in Visaya and Tagalog but when it comes to the Chinese people, I speak to them in slow Mandarin even though it's hard for them to understand sometimes. This whole discovery of fukien made me curious about its cultural identity since I am part Chinese and part Filipino. Can anyone tell me all about fookien/fukien? I've done some searching on it though all the answers that I found confused me.

i'm very interested to take up a course in mosaic making and i just couldn't find the site ( not sure of the right spelling ) the lady was interviewed in "shop talk" ( Phil.) hope somebody can help me.
