   I’ve been following Kalyespeak (http://kalyespeak.mypodcast.com) for some time now and i must way it’sa fun way to learn Filipino! The lessons are very practical and they teach it in a contextual rather than bookish way. I retain the sentences most of the time. And did i say that they’re outrageously funny? Grabe! I highly recommend it!
