What is the fastest way to learn Tagalog?
What are your suggestions for learning tagalog, I can get the gist of what they are saying, but I am not certain. Can't really speak it either
Thanks Po!
Thank You for the replies, while anyone who voted for emersion into the filipino society head first would be the quickest, I can not afford the ticket just yet..booked Hawaii another story. I will vote for the best answer that will help me now, and anyone that does a search! And RadioactiveFemale and GtrMae maybe we can talk sometime. Again Thanks to All who responded I wish I coud give you all some extra points!

Here are some free pointers, i mean books and internet sources that you can try for some free lessons.

Live in the Phillippines for a couple of years.
Join the military and get sent to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. Youll be fluent in a year, although the next four might suck.
talk to me. listen and learn hihi *wink*
Go to a philippines translation site. Maybe if you go to translations.com or search tagalog or philippines, you will come across something. My stepmom is from the Philippines and so is my Aunty. They speak tagalog to eachother all the time and I can never get what they are saying. My Aunty said that there are so many different variations of tagalog, that you would have to choose which kind you want to learn. Just like the french in Quebec is different fro the french is France, tagalog would be different in almost every village, town and city. Sorry if I didn’t help any. Good Luck!
Read tagalog comics, these will help you learn tagalog easily.
I suggest you go to Manila for a few months. It helps to learn the language fast when you are sorrounded with Filipinos. If it can not be…. look for Filipinos to help you. They are every where in the world and in cyber space too. Good Luck
Okay. Just go to the Philippines and ask someone to tell you.
talk to me….i’ll teach u how to speak tagalog!!
fastest way is asking the translations from people you know who speak the language.
or you can buy a filipino-english dictionary.
