Question

I really need help if you got yahoo im let me no

Answer 1

That is the usual problem with Filipino parents in foreign countries. They do not pass on the language to their children. They are not proud of their culture. This is the very reason why Filipinos easily integrate in foreign countries compared to the Chinese who are really proud of their language and culture.

Try checking out this website

http://www.tagalog-dictionary.com/

It will teach you some basic translation of Tagalog words. At least you would know some. I suggest you FORCE your parents to teach you Tagalog and tell them to be proud of who they are and not be ashamed of it.

Also refer to this wiki website about Philippine languages. The Philippines has over 170 languages spoken all over the archipelago. Tagalog is the constitutionally declared national language.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

In your situation, there's nothing more convenient and more inexpensive than learning Tagalog from your own family. Ask them to teach you the language and, in turn, promise them that you'll be a good student by taking each and every lesson seriously.

Alternatively, if you prefer focused, classroom type lessons and material (like myself), I know of a relatively global language company that can do this for you. They're called Berlitz International and I'm pretty sure that they teach Tagalog. Just use their main page to select where you're from to know more about local classrooms in your location. I've selected the US homepage, for example, and clicking on the "Languages Taught" button shows that they do teach Tagalog.

Just a quick note: I don't work for this company. :-)

Another option is to study the language yourself, although I don't recommend this because it's gonna be pretty darn hard to know if you're doing correct pronunciation and intonation, among other things.

Answer 3

you do no longer could learn tagalog to be understood in the Philippines. Filipinos communicate 2 languages, Tagalog and English so which you pick no longer problem on getting around the Philippines talking in English. Even a taxi driving force would understand you. consumer-friendly words in tagalog are as follows: hi continues to be hi Please is pakiusap or paki particular is Oo No is hindi Mabuhay is a tagalog greeting we are saying to foreigners relatively for brand spanking new arrivals in the Philippines. wish this facilitates.

Answer 4

I don't speak it, but I think I saw that Rosetta Stone, a language learning CD thingy, has Tagalog.

Maybe you could get some CDs or DVDs, take a class. Immersion works if you want to dive in. You won't know what anybody's talking about for a while, but you'll learn quickly.

You can learn a language if you're motivated enough--maybe your parents can help you. Good luck--it's a great goal! Learning another language, especially one your parents speak, is a wonderful thing.
