The Philippine language is called Tagalog
I'm 15 years old and I still don't know how to talk in my native language. My parents are too lazy to go and teach me. So, is there another way for me to learn?

Watch a lot of Tagalog TV, like TFC. Ask your relatives to send you Tagalog "komiks" or pocketbooks.
Watching Tagalog shows frequently will let you learn the language fast, especially if you have a bit of an understanding to begin with.
Then read aloud the Tagalog literature you can lay your hands on, like komiks and pocketbooks.
Of course, if you can, the best way is to get a language instructor who can assist you as you go through the methods I have suggested. Nothing beats being able to use the language in conversations, It is most effective, more effective than doing self-study. In fact that is why Koreans come here in droves to learn English. Over here, they are forced to speak English or they will not be understood in the shops.
…get your mom mad always and you will know…just kiddin…you need to speak someone near you who can ask him as long as you can have a time,it cant be learn easy,everyday interaction is the key for that..tandaan mo yan..
Rosetta stone Language disks. Or move to the Philippines. Within a year, you will be fluent just from association.
I don’t know how to learn it here in the US. Rosetta Stone really is a good program, but very expensive. Another thing you could try is the Pimsleur Language course. They are also an excellent language resource and I think only about $40. (Google it.) It’s entirely on audio CD (or you might be able to find it for free on Limewire or another p2p network), no reading or writing involved. They make learning a language very simple, using words and situations you would use in everyday life, so you can start right away, like right after you finish the first lesson. I’m not sure if they have a course in Tagalog though.
Anyway, my situation was pretty much what the last answerer said: I knew like maybe 4 words in Tagalog at age 15. Then we moved to the Philippines, and I did my junior year in high school there without speaking a word of Tagalog, but I absorbed a lot. During that summer vacation I made my first clumsy attempts at speaking it, and even though I was made fun of, people understood I was making the effort. I stuck with it, spoke Tagalog my entire senior year and got so fluent in it by the time I started college people didn’t know I wasn’t from the Philippines. I spoke it with a slight accent, but they just thought it was because I was Visayan or Ilocano or something.
