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?

I need to do a historical background about the National Anthem of the Philippines but I need it in Filipino language. I have searched many sites but it's all written in English. It's hard to translate a whole English document in Filipino. Please help me or give me any sites where I can find many informations about it.

Note: I already tried this link http://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupang_Hinirang so exclude it from your answer. Thank you.
Or could anybody translate this to Filipino? http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/44850

Learing Tagalog (Filipino language). I have repeatedly tried to learn, but I never make it past Chapter 2. I have used a language book and the Rosetta Stone program. I just get bored of it. Now I'm a little more commited to be like my people with our language.

Any tips to keep the learning in your mind? I'm in my late adolescent ages, is it harder to learn a new language at this age? Going to be my second language. Any tips on learning the language pronounciation and how to write other than the basic steps of learning a lanuage?
Salamat po (Thank you)

I'm taking a filipino language class in college (my boyfriends family is filipino) and I'm making a gift but want to sign it I love you in filipino at the end.. something we haven't covered in class yet..

On one website it used the words Mahal and kita -- which, I looked up kita and it said something about earnings or wages.. I don't want his family to pick it up and read that I love his wages or something incorrect.. can someone help?
hah, well do you have any other phrases I could use?

such as.. i miss you.. stay amazing (inside joke we have) i don't know.. random things? that way I could write the whole letter in filipino..

The Filipino boxer's English is too good to be true. Everybody in the Phils. knows Filipino boxers barely graduate high school and has a shitty English....the "allegedly" Filipino boxer also mentioned Pacman injects it in his UPPER QUADRANT. Haha. No Filipino boxer would know that medically specific term, least to speak a decent English. Even native speakers would not typically use "upper quadrant" in a statement as most don't know what that means....it's obviously to make that bogus rumor believable. LOL.

Assuming it's translated....the translated version still would hardly equate a Filipino language version without changing much of the English version the way it was delivered. LOL.

My grandfather tells me to give up language-learning since multilingual people are seen to be geeks and nerds, and warned me that I might be considered some kind of traitor to our Filipino language, or something along those lines. I don't know whether he's doing this to make me change my mind about devoting my entire life to mastering 18 languages (not including English and Tagalog, of course, I think I'm quite proficient in them already). But I'm still a bit aggravated by his comments, and so decided to ask here on yahooanswers, (where people will be more keen on giving honest opinions), instead of simply asking my Filipino mateys (who will undoubtedly tell me that there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, but there's a possibility that they might not be so frank about it). So, going back to my question.......how are multilinguals seen in the Philippines, or more particularly there in Luzon (I know that knowing 3-4 languages is okay, but how about someone who's got 10 languages+ under their belt? Is such a person considered a stigma, like in Britain (unfortunately)? Please give me an HONEST answer, and a detailed one if possible. It doesn't matter if the answer is like: You're so gonna be considered a dweeb or a geek, that there's no chance of you successfully wooing a run-off-the-mill Filipina, if she knows you're into languages.

Btw I'm still on the lookout for any fellow Filipino who's got the same ambitions as I am.
I plan on attaining at least C1-level fluency in Estonian, Ukrainian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Dutch, French, Russian, Bulgarian, Finnish, and Hungarian
before I die, of course
by the way, thank you very much for the 2 Filipinos who've posted here. I'm waiting for an additional 3 helpful and honest opinions from Filipinos. If you have difficulty in voicing your opinion, simply watch this (videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAtWuQmdexs), and tell me whether he would be treated badly in Luzon, or will he still be able to fit in. The man in the video is not me by the way!

is communisim a good thing for the philipines to equalize the giving of resourse to the ppl????

IN FILIPINO LANGUAGE PLZ
AND NO ANSWERS THAT CAN'T HELP
NO SPAM!!!!!

Hi,
I love learning languages. I've learned most of Japanese and Cantonese and English in three-seven years. However, I'd like to learn Ilokano--a Filipino language.

Since money is low, I'm wondering if any one knows how I can learn it for free or for no higher than 5-15$?

My boyfriend speaks this language and has taught me some basics but I'd like to learn more so I could converse with him in his language and English.

Help, please?

i put this in the wrong catagory cause i needed more feedback. i am trying to teach myself how to speak tagalog because my mom is filipino and she is always speaking it and i want to be able to talk back to her.
i know that in the filipino language some letters are pronounced diffrently then english. can you name some of the letters and how to pronounce them. and if you know of a website that tells you how to pronounce words in different languages that would really help too!!!

My knowledge of Tagalog is limited to simple phrases like "salamat" and "mahal kita". I'm really curious how calendar years are said in the Filipino language. Thank you for your answers.

People tell me that Tagalog/Filipino language sounds as if it were the Chinese of Southeast Asia, meaning it sounds kinda like Chinese, but for SE Asia. I sorta understand what they mean though, because the "aw" in a word is pronounced "ao", and "ay" in a word is pronounced "ai" (like the word laway. (pronounced LAO-WAI)) It was even mistaken for Japanese once or twice (it happened to me before, don't know about others.) For example, it has the "ah" sounds, "ai" sounds, "eh" sounds, & "oh" sounds. I dunno though, what do you think? I completely disagree with those statements that it sounds Spanish. In my opinion, that's only because of the different Spanish vocab. If anything, we have more Chinese vocabulary/Chinese sounding words then Spanish (we have words originating from Hokkien, Fujianese, Cantonese, etc.) I don't know though. What do you think? Does Tagalog/Filipino=Chinese of Southeast Asia, or sound similar to Chinese/Japanese? Please help!

Hello. I have a question here for Filipinos (Philippines) or anybody who might know the answer.

Does anybody know why and/or how the rainbow is called "Bahaghari" in the Filipino language?

I need it in my report in my Filipino class. Many thanks in advance to those who will help. ^_^
Guys, I mean the origin of the word "Bahaghari."

I have no more time to go to the library, thats's why I'm asking online.

Thanks.

I was contacted and offered help with the Filipino language if I added the person contacting me to my favorite list. I can't remember how you add some one to your favorite list? I stopped doing that when my e- mails became too many.

Hi,
I'm trying to translate the following into filipino language.
"I know about your girlfriend. I also know you are not serious about her and you are just playing around. Leave her if you truly don't love her so someone else can make her happy."
Here is what I got on google translate:
"Alam ko ang tungkol sa iyong girlfriend. Ko rin alam ikaw ay hindi malubhang tungkol sa kanya. ikaw ay lamang ng paglalaro sa paligid. Iwanan ang kanyang kung tunay na hindi siya mahal kaya ng ibang tao ay maaaring gumawa ng kanyang masaya. "

Is the translation correct? I know sometimes online translators are not very accurate or sound overly formal.

I think the girl i like is dating an a-hole who is married and that he is making false promises and lying to her, just need to be sure without anyone knowing I got involved so I can stop worrying.
Thanks
