How I learned to speak FLUENT Filipino in 6 months

- This is my story. From knowing nothing about the Philippines to becoming fluent in 3 Filipino languages: Tagalog, Bisaya and Waray waray.
Learn Tagalog and Bisaya with our online courses here:
If that link isn't working it means the website is down and we are working on rebooting it. In the meantime you can check out our Learn to speak Bisaya course here: www.udemy.com/course/learn-bi...
Now for all of you who want to try telling me "It's not Filipino! It's Tagalog!" The answer is.... it's basically the same language. There are only some very VERY minor foreign words added to the vocabulary to make it "Filipino". Tagalog was the lingua franca of people who lived in or near the government capital. During the Aquino presidency in the 1980s, the national language was officially labeled Filipino (which is just Tagalog with influences from foreign languages such as Spanish)

I’m half Filipino and that is my dad was born in Manila Philippines and spoke only togalog for 20 years. Then he moved to America and met my mother and so on. My dad never taught me the language the 19 years I’ve been on earth. Last month my dad passed away and now I want to dedicate this year to learn my dads native language so I can fly over to the Philippines and finally meet my family and understanding/communicate with them. I hope this website does the trick and if so, salamat!
you can learn Tagalog in DuoLingo (・∀・)
I have a dilipino accent when I speak but I can't even speak, only understand fluently
Me too I want to learn Tagalog because my family is Filipino but they never taught it to me. I was born in the Philippines but emigrated when I was a baby
@@aestheticeu5601 I checked, you unfortunately can't
@@souprice769 oh is that so :( I hope Duolingo will add a one because there's many half filipino who can't speak filipino
I wanna learn it so my mom can stop talking shit about me with the church ladies ;-;
SAAAMEE😂😂
BAHAHAH It be like that
Wtf we all got the same moms?!?
STOP THIS IS JSUT MY MOM 90% of the time
LMFAOOOOO
Wow, your accent is good! A lot of foreigners claim to be fluent in Tagalog but sometimes their grammar and their accent was often bad.
Their accent and grammar is bad due to little help. Prof. Brown at the Poly-glot-a-lot CZcams channel gives instructions of acquiring not learning language based upon Prof. Krashen's hypotheses. These are what polyglots use. Just to let you know, practice useless, correction useless, and translation useless. It's all about comprehensible input and hours. Silent reading improves grammar in any language. Listening to several hundred hours of comprehensible input has new speakers sounding like native speakers of a language. So before the insults against those such as myself who used tradional failed grammar skills methods, research language success based upon valid studies.
Is proper accent a prerequisite for fluency?
An accent is a nice extra and may even help in understanding many times due to another language accent being too strong. As far as gaining accent of the target language, do not practice in the beginning. Listen. Here is a link where a professor using the direct aka acquisition method found those who did not practice ended up sounding just like or nearly like natuve Thai speakers. Practice in language does not help like in sports. Children never practice their first language. After hearing words they use them as they see fit. They correct themselves. Correction is another waste of time. Correcting someone does nothing as studies in Taiwan showed. People will correct themselves. Correcting does nothing but may add to anxiety. Anxiety in language shuts down the brain in acquiring.

@@OrphanTube210 yes because often we have similar words that are differentiated by accents you may be introducing me as your lover instead of your friend Bec of your bad accent
Thats what im worried because im learning tagalog so i can speak with my husbands family but i live in southern usa so i have very different accent.
learning Tagalog cause i wanna live in the Philippines
Good luck!!
Aww wow good luck see u in Philippines oofffff jokeee hehe
"Mahal kita" start with that
Why? Be careful.
Owwww jungkook
I'm glad you manage to speak, read, write, and also pronounce perfectly. You're 100% fluent.
I’m a Filipino but I’ll speak english for now. For those who wants to learn tagalog, you can just probably learn it maybe less than a year. You can learn it in a short period of time if you are able to learn and practice everyday. Unlike other languages, they have their own lettering or alphabet thingy but here (and probably in other countries too) our alphabet is just the same as english so it would be not that hard to learn Tagalog. I have learned tagalog and english probably since I was a kid. Now I am aiming to learn both Korean and Japanese(It’s because of Kpop and Anime Lol) It’s gonna be a hard task but I’ll do my best I guess.
it's hard po, The language tagalog is in reverse to english and the words so long lol
@Kanye East tough
Kanye East Hard as always since we just started our online classes.
King Naira nakakapagpabagabag 😑
I'm mixed with Filipino and there's so much Filipinos on my island, so I want to get fluent in the language. I've spoken English all my life (I'm a teen rn) I'm also learning Spanish currently because of school. And it's pretty easy to read the Tagolog words because it's in English lettering. I hope I get fluent soon ❤️
Bless u that u learn the philippine language like bisaya,tagalog,waray
Ive been in the philippines for 7 damn years and still cant speak omg
even after watching this video i still cannot.
Here's a tip that you probably already noticed.
Learn the most commonly used verbs and subject particles. Just use English words for the subject. That should be enough to speak fluently.
Lack of conversation
Gmail Account Girl ive lived in the ph for my entire life and im still not fluent😭😭 anyways hope you get more fluent, good luck!✨
Thats cute......
I want to learn Tagalog so I’m not a burden to my mom and my Filipino heritage
Edit 1 year later: still not fluent bruh… but I improved so I guess that’s something
edit over 1 year later: I am definitely noticing my improvements, I'm trying to push myself more in speaking and listening and just trying to consume more Tagalog content.. so, slowly but surely
Edit 2 years later: MATAGAL ANG LEARNING KO… pero I’m slowly getting more comfortable with the langage even though I cant fully express myself yet. Naintindihan ako ang mga daily conversations (to a certain extent). I’m hoping in 3 years when I go to the Philippines I can be close to fluent ✊🏼
I'm sure you will be able to speak it Goodluck! Kaya mo yan!!!♡
You too huh? Sucks, doesn’t it?
Ako din 😭
My parents never taught me nor did they even speak tagalog to me that much when i was younger, i wanna try my best to learn it because i am filipino after all
Same 😭
Same here
My mom never taught me Tagalog so I’m trying to learn it now😖
I'm from Philippines, i can help you anytime:-)
If you want:-)
For real. I’m trying to gossip at church with the aunties.
Deez Nutz Hindi ganyan haha
@@armyandblinkhere1352 you should teach me lmao
maliit teteng mo means you look good, try it out with your filipino guy friends
It's pretty amazing to see people from other nations becoming fluent with Filipino. You actually have a good accent as well. 🙂
I'm a Filipino.....and I'm just happy to the people who wanna learn our language 😊😊😊😊Filipino language isn't hard though 😉😉😉
Yess Im really wanna speak filipino
I have been here for 2 years and find it really difficult to learn coming from English
@@rtbean8946 Yes I understand you, I'm a Filipino and I can speak fluently.I also live here in the Philippines and it's pretty hard to learn any languages since I'm learning now a new language but I didn't have so much time to practice so that's why it's really hard if you're new.There's nothing easy when it's new.
mahirap onti saken hahaha
Right. I speak English and don’t find that to be difficult either…
He speaks 3 different filipino language?! I've been trying to learn bisaya and it's not easy 😭
Which city are you in?
Have you attended some classes?
maybe he really is interested to learn the language. i live in philippines but i can only speak tagalog and bisaya
I can relate to ya 😅
Bisaya, waray are dialects not a language.
@@mr.project2555 You are funny lmao. You didn't seem to have completed your assignment.
I can understand pretty well Tagalog but I’m not fluent and I need to learn my dialect Hiligaynon(Iloilo, my city) because I was born and raised in Italy and I’ve been speaking in Italian for my whole life
God Bless you man
Ayeee your from Iloilo too🙌 yude ba! Btw i can understand Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Ilongo, and a little bit of Waray
Dang yall lucky you have a dialect,
I'm scared to go back at pangasinan because i know i got a lil mean to my cousins there-
I only know tagalog and English
How did u do it I am literally Filipina and I still don’t know how to speak Tagalog can u give me some tips !
Your way of pronouncing the words is really accurate! I'm glad you decided to learn our language and live in the Philippines for a few years (?)! Keep up the great work!
My best friends are filipino and I want to learn tagalog because it sounds pretty. I also know spanish.
I’m here as well because I have a lot of filipino friends😂 They all speak good english but I just feel tempted to try to learn it because I speak English obviously and Arabic but I have never really ever put the effort into trying to speak another language and I thought this one would be cool because my basketball friends and my best friend and a lot of my friends speak it and most of them moved from the Philippines.
Tagalog will be fairly easy for you to study then! If you are really good at Spanish and English, you will for sure get a go on with Tagalog. You got this broooo!!
Ive always wanted to learn tagalog since my mom is from the Philippines (but i’m half filipino, so was never taught at home) all my filipino friends want me to learn!
Here are some key points about grammar in the Filipino language:
Word order: In Filipino, the basic word order is subject-verb-object.
Verbs: In Filipino, verbs are inflected to indicate tense, aspect, and mood.
Nouns: In Filipino, nouns do not have a grammatical gender and do not change form to indicate number. Plural nouns are formed by adding the suffix -ng or -mga to the singular form.
Pronouns: Filipino has a rich system of personal pronouns that distinguish between singular and plural, inclusive and exclusive, and formal and familiar forms.
Adjectives: In Filipino, adjectives usually follow the noun they modify and do not change form to indicate the gender or number of the noun.
Adverbs: In Filipino, adverbs are typically formed by adding the suffix -lyo to the base form of an adjective.
Prepositions: In Filipino, prepositions are used to indicate the relationships between nouns, pronouns, and other words in a sentence.
Conjunctions: In Filipino, conjunctions are used to connect clauses and words in a sentence.
Interjections: In Filipino, interjections are words or phrases that express strong emotions and are used to interrupt the normal flow of a conversation.
Good! What website or yt channel can I visite to read more about Filipino grammar, pls?
Any tips of learning them all
My advice as a native speaker is that when you're learning Tagalog, it is much applicable to write and speak using the V-S-O or V-O-S word orders as it is most significantly used with all our daily conversations than S-V-O one. Although, I just also want to point out that you can also learn S-V-O since Tagalog is such a flexible language, but keep in mind that this grammar structure will sound a lot more like in passive voice than the two word orders which I suggested. We still speak and write them in some cases, so I still don't want to discourage some of you who doesn't know much about Tagalog. Just prioritize those two for the meantime. There are times when Filipinos don't mind about SVO sentences anyways when they want to say them so don't worry too much when you are using them. Have fun learning ❤❤❤
I’ve literally lived with Filipino parents my entire lifetime and I can still only understand the language- Like I can hold a simple conversation but I can’t answer hard questions :,D
Filipino*
@@elishabarlisan5521 I also can’t spell if you can’t tell lmaoshjshdv😃🔫
You have a very interesting story and to learn not one but languages is amazing. Your course does sound fantastic. 🙂👍⭐
All About The Philippines cheers mate!
Does it help any having a Hispanic background? I was born in Germany and moved to America since my dad was military. Still living in America for 34 years and basically have been Americanized and my Puerto Rican culture has basically left me. I can decently speak Spanish and understand it perfectly, but reading and writing it is quite difficult. I do notice many tagalog words have the same Spanish meaning as well, but is definitely not spelled same way.
Plenty of Spanish words are found in Bisaya and Tagalog. I’m sure it would help
I am filipino and I must say, we only have some loanwords in Spanish. It can help in some case. But take note some words only. The other words /grammar/sentences are totally different from your language.
if you're hispanic, you probably can be fluent in less than a year since tagalog language has many spanish words
Having a Hispanic background?
You mean having a background in the Spanish language. Spanish loanwords help, the same way as Tagalog uses the Latinate alphabet. Tagalog now uses a lot of English words, and the average speech is not pure Tagalog, but Taglish. Part English part Tagalog.
being mexican helps more because of the nahuatl words hahaha
You are amazing! Congratulations on that pure genius and talent!
Saw this video and realized I need to learn to speak Tagalog. My son is 3 years old and already speaking Tagalog it helps that he’s in the Philippines immersed in the language and culture.
It’s so nice to see how the mission has helped you progress even up to today I served in the same mission as well! Wish you and your beautiful family all the best and thank you so much for the inspiration to continue practicing the languages learned sa mission po god bless sa inyo permi!!
I think it’s important to learn the basics from someone who knows. I truest believe that taking a Japanese class at a CC boosted my ability to learn the language at such a high rate
imagine signing up to learn Tagalog, but your already a Filipino yourself
Oh, I don’t have to imagine it.
It's kinda common, can relate.
me 😭
I'm so greatfull to you Dwaine learning our native language and dialect good job to you bro keep it up and hope to see more video from you and shanta im a big fan of you bro now that I'm here in Adelaide SA still watching your videos. Again kudos Dwaine and keep safe always. 👍👍👍
Hi Good day and Congratulations to both of you! Is it possible for my 12 y/o son to use the philtalk course? He wants to learn Tagalog he’s half Egyptian half Filipino.😊
Is the course still available? (link's not working)
There are two type of Filipino learner (Mostly)
1: People who married to a Filipina
2: People with Filipino parent/s who grow up outside the country
Man you really are fluent in Tagalog! ❤
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I grew up there, my dad was stationed in the Philippines for 6 years. I learned Tagalog then I lost it when I moved to the states. I’m feeling inspired to learn now,34 years later. I love the idea of your course. I remember swimming at the ocean, going to Manila, & visiting Baguio. When I meet a Filipino I ask them to talk to me. Hopefully one day I can talk back. Ps. Hurrah for Israel!!!
Do we get a discount for being filipino?
Hi dwanta 🥰 solid dwanta here 😘 so excited to see your baby soon ❤️

Road to 1 million subscribers na. Kaya nyo yan
Hey am I allowed to buy your product and not have access to the internet ? I’m in the navy and I want to learn bisaya when I’m under way at sea . Lots of down time
I'm a Filipino and you speak Tagalog better than me HAHAHAHA
I am learning tagalog right now. My family is from the Philippines but never taught me ): I actually want to learn bisaya and waray waray at some point because thats where my family is actually from, but i thought tagalog first would be easier? but it seems like thats not the case!
proud kaayo ko nimo kay kabalo ka mo bisaya ug tagalog
we are proud of you
Where can I find tv shows in Tagalog with English and Tagalog subs? That's how I learned English (watching tv shows with subs in my own language and then again with subs in English) and I don't want to study normally (I will study the grammar at some point, but I want to actually understand the language before I do that). Does anyone know?
i was actually really surprised when u made ur intro !! i thought it would sound like what most people would sound like but i was wrong !! good job and keep going !!
I was Friggin SHOCKED YO!
I'VE LITERALLY NEVER HEARD A WESTERNER SPEAKING FLUENT TAGALOG ✨ makes me so proud, damn.
Hi Dwayne,
I want to sign up for the paid Tagalog course but had a few questions. I can not get an email to “support” as there is not a valid email contact. Can you give me a valid email contact for Philtalk paid membership. Thanks
Hi Ken! The support email for philtalk is support@tagalog.io Send us an email there
I am inspired, Dwaine! I was born and raised in the U.S. My parents discouraged, as well as lectured me regularly, not to learn Tagalog (nor Visaya!). I moved to the Philippines to learn... Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Hi Dwaine, which from those three dialects do you find easier to learn? What is the main difference in each & are there common similarities as in if you speak tagalog can u understand the other dialects?
Those are languages. Regional languages are NOT dialects!
My moms Filipino, she always wanted to teach my lil brother and I, but sadly she never had the time, now I'm 16 and taken upon my self to learn
That is one of the sad thing when there's a Filipina/filipino who moved and had family in other countries, they aren't teaching their kids to speak tagalog or any dialects (based from what part of the Philippines they came from). Goodluckkk to youuu!!!
Wow Ang ganda partner dwainewoolley.dami ko nattunan dto
Do you have a kid friendly version? Do you have a one month trial prior to signing up?
i tried to register at your web site but it wont let me put in my age
Hi dwaine I always saying this every time I go live streaming because I have friends watching on me from Germany and London they always want to learn tagalog and also other dialect in the Philippines..
GOD bless you and dwanta ❤️❤️❤️
Your really exceptional buddy!!
I've been here 2 years and I struggle so hard with Tagalog and Bisaya. 🙁
me too, i cannot grasp or remember the words and putting a sentence together is hard, the basics is kinda easy like kamusta ka? but trying anything further gets really hard and tongue tied...lol
When listening to filipinos chatting is extremely hard as they talk soooo fast, and i might pick up a word here and there, but its really frustrating not being able to grasp the language quicker than most, funny thing is when i am able to grasp Korean and Japanese faster than tagalog sadly..
your website is down, i can't access your website
How do I log in Phil talk?
Ayyyyy, I served in the Quezon City North mission but was pulled out due to the corona virus... I to am from Australia lol HAHAHA
Wooww amazing. You're too good at it
dwaine you have a language talent like a polyglot or a multilingual, i believe you can easily learn other local languages like ilocano, pangasinan, kapampangan, chavacano...etc.
Yun oh. Magaling ka talaga Dwaine! 👍♥️▶️
Tried to find your course online, not found.
Your link to the course doesnt work :((
Dwaine , your knowledge and command of Tagalog is quite impressive. I find that refreshing and encouraging. I've decided to study Tagalog myself just to get a better understanding of the language. Love the content of your videos!! New subscriber from the states.
Member din po ako ng The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints❤️. Hello po✨
Kuya, wala na inyo philtalk nga website?
I'm half Philippines and half Indonesian and i speak English (sometimes) and i learnt Tagalog from some apps, and now I'm good at it (Siguro?) Uh I'll speak Tagalog from now on, Kaya gusto ko talaga ang mga Filipino songs! Ang galing talaga nila! :) At para sa mga Tagalog ay matututuhan mo ito ng wala pang isang taon! Kaya ito lang ang gusto kong sabihin sa ngayon! :)
Ooo what apps if you don’t mind sharing?
What app did you use?
Question, do you recommend learning tagalog and bisaya at the same time? Or will the two get confusing?
Astig ka kaayo kuya Dwien🤘
I can't believe your accent is very good!
Can’t add my age when registering to the website, therefore not able to register at all. Bug or just me?
It's a bug. philtalk is undergoing a HUGE update where an app will be released. Once we've launched the update it will all be fixed. Updates will be out within 2 weeks!
Would you recommend using rosetta stone?
Just started learning, still figuring the sentence structure
Same, its very confusing but im trying haha
It's pretty close to english so it's not that hard.
The website is not working?
Excited to learn Tagalog, but unfortunately I am not a fan of anything that requires a month subscription. On to the next
Your site is down and the udemy course is only Bisaya. Do you still have your tagalog course?
Love this video!
Your signup page wouldn't allow me to enter my age. The calendar wouldn't open so I gave up.
😍😍😍 SHANTA AND DWAINE LAABYOUU😘😘😘
I found you after deciding I want to move from Scotland to Philippines, I am looking to try learn as much language as possible before moving out the Philippines
Well, marunong na ako tagalog and I want to give a try to your site.
Im here from 2014 and happy to see you so good in tagalog. Salamat pre!
Yessss yesssss naman😍😍😍
Very good dodong ky hasler na jud ka mgbsya og tagalog proud pilipino nka
Website not found??
Wow, i need to study more Philtalk
I did this course during lockdown and can recommend it as a good way to start Bisaya from scratch 👍
Gonna check out your course within the next year. Hoping. 🤞 Is it good for heritage learners? 😅 It's one of my long-term goals to get some kind of formalized/grammar-based foundation with Tagalog before I start diving into speaking. Reading and comprehension is like 85%, speaking is kindergarten level lol. But damn, I can't afford the $3000+ just to take Filipino classes for a summer here in CA 😂
Filipinos need to keep their language and culture. To many come to the western world, and after one generation, have forgotten their culture and language.
Very cool if you have a complete course on bisaya that is accessible via digital means. I will check it out.
I clicked play, jaw dropped, paused it, leaned all the way back saying “bro what”, sat up and had to start it over. I was expecting you to be good, but you are NATIVE LANGUAGE GOOD. I’ve never been so shook so fast 😂😭😭 had to gather my thoughts LOLL
This is so cool, I just got home from serving in the Urdaneta mission (its pretty much just Pangasinan & it used to be part of Baguio mission) & it's crazy how many times I heard about an American who was a missionary that was on TV there 😂 I saw one of your videos today & thought "this has to be that guy everyone talked about" & I was right lol Salamat sa mga video mo! Ingat ka diyan ah! 🤟🏽
Shoutt outt po! Kuyaaaa Dwaine💖
Godbless
Dahil napakabuti mong tao kaya you deserve to have more blessings..
Your accent is on point!
Shout Out! Kuyaaaa
Wow you really good-- I'm filipino but I'm also trying to learn kapampangan since I wanna know what my mom talks about with her friends 🙉
