Watch a lot of Filipino movies and TV shows. Ask your parents and Filipino friends to talk to you in Filipino as much as possible. A friend improved her Filipino by reading Tagalog comics aloud. Filipino is really easy to learn, but only if you practice. Many foreigners have lived in the Philippines for decades but never learned the language because they could get by just fine with English. So you’ll be fine when you visit actually. If you really want to learn Filipino, you just have to comit to it.

There’s a satellite Filipino channel that you can watch like ABS-CBN. Most of the programs are in Tagalog. Watch it for you to familiarize the words as well as the usage.

don’t worry it’s easy to learn tagalog…just learn the basics like
oo- yes
hindi- no
magandang umaga- good morning
magandang hapon- good afternoon
magandang gabi- good evening
kamusta ka- how are you
stuff like that
