Hey kiddos,

Why is tagalog so hard to learn? When I read French, German, or Spanish I can see how it translates to English easy with my dictionary. BUT Tagalog is so hard to understand?

I'm 13 years old and trying to learn Tagalog. I'm Filipino but I've lived in the United States my whole life and I am just now learning to speak Tagalog. Can someone list websites or Tagalog magazines. What would be a recommended book that could help me? I already have a phrase book and dictionary so I don't need that. My mom speaks Tagalog fluently and she's from the Philippines and she's going to help me too.

And i was looking for a site with sentences and phrases and words on it. (like an online phrasebook/dictionary). ty
Im just learning it for fun with my friend.

well i wanna learn cuz i am half filipina and i have a filipino dictionary but oh no its word by word any1 know how to learn it like a technique i dont wanna use google translate or any other i wanna learn it

I am Japanese living in the Philippines and now learning the Filipino language so hard by myself. Because, unfortunately, there are no good grammar books written in Japanese are available, I have no other choice than to learn it by books written in Tagalog...

While reading a book, I came across a passage whose meaning I cannot figure out:

>Anupat magiging madali at malinaw ang pag-aaral sa alinmang bahagi o antas ng Filipino kung magkakaroon muna tayo ng sanligang kaalaman sa ponolohya o palatunugan nito.

In this pasage, "anupat" and "sanligang" are the words I don't understand and which I cannot find out even in the dictionary.

(1) anupat: I guess it is made up of 'anu + pa + at', but I can't still figure out the meaning of the whole sentece.

(2) sanligang: I guess it consists of 'isa + -ng + liga + ng', and I suppose 'sanligang kaalaman' means 'the whole knowledge' or 'total understanding'. I am still not sure of myself because I can't find out the word in the dictionary.
