I got agood one at a computer show, but when I got here I found out the dialect was totally different. The one Rosetta stone has is good http://www2.rosettastone.com/en/individuals/languages/tagalog for the link. Rosetta stone is the best, but you have to special order it.

I am a Filipina and I speak both Tagalog and Bisaya. I agree with jackdinah.. In order for you to learn a language, you have to live in that country. This is especially true for Tagalog and Bisaya, because it's not widely spoken, like French or Spanish or even Chinese. Only Filipinos speak Tagalog or Bisaya... Tagalogs even find it hard to learn Bisaya. That should give you some idea on how hard it is to learn the language. I have a Filipino-American friend who came here. He was trying to learn Bisaya. He lived in Cebu City for almost 6 months. He was able to understand most Bisaya words, but he was never able to speak it. Now he's living in Manila (for almost 6 months) and understand only the most basic Tagalog words. So, the point is, you really have to practice the language. You either have to live here, or get a friend to teach you the language... YOu have to hear it and speak it.. Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend here? She/he should be able to help you... or you can do voice on yahoo IM and talk with Filipinos.. or find Filipino friends there who'd be happy to help you. Or you could email me at ms.jako@yahoo.com. I'll be happy to translate words/sentences for you and help you with the translations (sadly, i can't say them for you, but i'll try to be as accurate on the pronunciations as i can) and basic sentence constructions. Free tutorial!! (I'm flattered that you're actually learning our dialects Ü ).. And I'm better with Tagalog than Bisaya. By the way, Bisaya is the collective term for the dialects spoken in the Visayas and Mindanao areas. If you go to Cebu, for example, the dialect is Cebuano. If you go to Surigao, it's Surigaonon... So if you hear people say Cebuano, it also means Bisaya... one more thing, the correct spelling term for the dialect is Visayan, but most people just say bisaya.. good luck. Ü Hey there.
