Or if he's serious about learning tagalog there is the Rosetta stone software, it's a simple concept, and it works, it has enough repetition that the words aren't forgotten so easily, they are written and pronounced... it's not a cheap piece of software though. Someone else had posted a link to a different program to learn tagalog, but I really can't imagine it'd be much more effective/simple than this one.

One of my favorite (well, most used) links is http://www.dicts.info/dictionary.php?l1=En...&l2=Tagalog . It only has the root words though, isa but not isang, so often I have trouble finding a word's meaning since I don't know all the various add on words, and unlike in english, sometimes the add on words are not at the front or end of the word... but in the middle so this can be even more difficult... the bit about being in the middle I leanred from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagalog_grammar . Lots of good info in the article, unfortunately the technical terms used to describe grammar are beyond what I can handle even in english!....

For anyone that works for the US Army as I do you can take the Rosetta Stone Tagalog course online free. Soldiers too. You just need a AKO account.

For me it's just a matter of taking the time and having the discipline to start.

Probably he knows.. they can have an AKO account since he is in duty.. But for a civilian like we need to have a sponsor (retired from the military).. I am not that sure, but heard about it.

I will copy an earlier post that was from another thread that might provide some further help on learning Tagalog.

The Rosette Stone is mostly a vocabulary builder, it shows for pictures and you go over the words identifying them pictures to the word. It isn't really worth the money, but I got it for no cost from a "Pirate" at the "Bay" if you know anything about torrent sites. ( http://thepiratebay.org/search/tagalog/0/99/300 )

The BYKI program, is mostly a vocabulary builder also, it has a computer program with cards that flip with sound files, I mostly use the MP files downloaded on to my ipod, I hook it up to external speakers.

The best way is to try and speak it have my wife correct me, I also pick up her words, Talaga, Utot, Namani, etc…

Another good way is to read and have the tagalog speaker correct your pronunciation.

Also, The Book "Tagalog for Non-Tagalog Speakers" gives some insight into the grammar of Tagalog.

Youtube is also good, maximo has a number of videos, also cool is Aray Ko with Julia, and some really funny girl whose video is "random Tagalog and swear words".

KayleSpeak ( http://kalyespeak.mypodcast.com/ ) and Viloria.com ( http://www.viloria.com/wp/ ) have podcast you can download for free also.

Hope these help, and don't keep your language a secret.

PS. Verb Tenses, forgetaboutit, best to learn these in phrases, this is the hardest part of the language.

Some of the best links:

others:

and for laughs (don't play in front of asawa): :devil:

But, what do I know?
