20 million people in the Philippines speak the Tagalog language. 1.6 million people living in America speak it. Even 400,000 Canadians converse in Tagalog. So you can see how essential it is for the modern American man and woman to be fluent in Tagalog in this world of ever increasing globalization.
Sure, I hear you say, “But Paul, learning a new language is hard. Can’t start with a few important words. I feel your pain.
This is why this, the first lesson, starts out with the 32 most important words in Tagalong. Master these words and soon you feel absolutely at home in any Tagalog community.
Of course, if you’re reading and come across a word in Tagalog, simply find it in the Tagalog column and look up the English translation. You, linguist, you.
