Post new topic

Simple question, where can I find a decent course for studying tagalog language? Both online or offline course would do.

OnLine, Rosetta Stone, it is a language teaching program that you do on line.  It has audio activities and verbal response (recognition of you ability) built into the learning program.

It is not cheap but consider one of the best programs around.  It covers many languages Tagalog being one of them.

PS it may be just cheaper hiring a teacher to teach you.

The price you paid was 1k php per hour!  Sorry but that is not reasonable.  When a teacher in the Philippines makes around 30k php for one month work.

I got this for my kids who have a hard time with learning Tagalog.

Step by step tutorial consisting of several lessons and drill sheets. Developed by a Filipino woman and her non-Filipino spouse.

Consists also of audio conversations in Tagalog between the Filipino woman and her Filipino brother which you can play at a slower pace.

Explains Tagalog syntax. Try the free 1st lesson "Ang Bakasyon" to see if this style of tutorial suits you.

I think I paid around PhP5,000 for an online package, which is a lot less than a tutor. Unlike a tutor, you don't need to pay again for a refresher. You can just refer back to the lessons.

Thanks. Please update is on your progress.

As a Tagalog speaker, I think the tutorial at learningtagalog.com got it right when it comes to a good method towards learning Tagalog. I thought Tagalog was difficult to learn or teach. But once you learn the syntax, it's actually not that hard, which is what the tutorial explains well.

The lessons (a total of 60 lessons) get progressively harder (which is like the sit-down foreign language classes in college) and the tutorial recommended to master a lesson before moving to the next.
