Book Description
A comprehensive, one-year introductory textbook for Tagalog, the language spoken in the Philippines. Beginning Tagalog has been designed to meet the specific needs of adult native speakers of English who wish to learn spoken Tagalog, though students with other language backgrounds may be able to follow the course with profit. With fairly intensive class scheduling, and assuming laboratory assignments and home study, the text can be covered in one academic year. The text is designed to accomplish two aims. The first is to impart oral control of Tagalog and, by means of an acquaintance with the major patterns of the language, to provide the means for additional independent study that will lead to a full mastery of the structures and a vocabulary that is sufficiently broad to meet the needs of most students. The second aim is to provide accurate, up-to-date information about the patterns of Filipino culture that will enable a student to understand the social customs, standards, values, and aspirations of the Filipino people, in order to prepare him for sympathetic, enlightened, and useful participation in the context of Filipino society. . . . The text consists of 25 units and appendices. In the first half of the text, the student plays the part of hearer and speaker, with only incidental reading of oral dialogs and drills. From Unit XIII on there is a reading section designated for each unit, correlated with the primarily spoken materials, but designed to promote facility in the orthography and distinctive patterns of the written language. . . The basic format is as follows: A. Basic Dialog B. Cultural and Structural Notes C. Pronunciation Exercises (to Unit XIII) D. Drills and Grammar E. Cumulative Drills F. Visual-Cue Drills G. Comprehension-Response Drills H. Readings (from Unit XIII)"

Book Description
Tagalog is an Austronesian language. It is the language of Manila and the surrounding provinces of Bataan, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite Laguna, Quezon, Batangas, and Marinduque. It is also spoken widely throughout the Philippines as a second language, with an estimated sixty percent of the population now being able to communicate in this language. Tagalog is the basis of the Philippine national language, Pilipino, and as such is taught in schools throughout the country. In addition to the lessons in this text, there are extensive notes to the teacher, supplementary vocabulary lists, pronunciation drills, and songs.

Book Description
Why This Book Is Unique This book reveals the paradise-like splendor found in the 7,107 islands of the Philippines and the character, nature, values, and customs of Filipinos. This book also outlines an uncomplicated but in-depth exploration of Filipino grammar to make it easier and simpler for the learner to form word and sentence constructions. The lexicon section of this book contains synonyms, correlations, similarities, and antonyms, making it more comprehensive and multifaceted than the other Filipino dictionaries in the market today. Also added in it are motivational topics and cautionary alerts. Previously and currently, most of the explanations and illustrations presented in this book have hardly been covered in other Filipino dictionaries written by other authors. The highlighting of the Spanish and English words in this dictionary can help increase proficiency or, at the least, familiarity with four languages, Tagalog, Ilocano, Spanish, and English, not to mention Bicolano, Cebuano, Ybanag, and Gaddang vocabularies that are added into this book. This book is an essential language reference book for all the libraries in the world. It also serves as a handy translation aid for foreigners doing business in the Philippines and for the foreign embassies that are based in the Philippines, as well as religious and medical missionaries, charitable institutions, language translators, tourists, foreign students enrolled in the Philippines, expatriates that settle in the Philippines, and anyone interested in learning about the Philippines and Filipino languages.

Book Description
Conversational Tagalog is an introductory-level text that was created for adult foreign/second language learners of Tagalog. It is designed to give practice in idiomatic Tagalog conversation by focusing exercises on simple language functions. The lessons are developed to encourage the interactional nature of communication. The book provides situations that are relevant to the lives of adult students. The situations force students to think about the meanings and consequences of what they say. Cultural notes guide students and give them a sense of when, how, and with whom it is appropriate to use the forms contained in a certain set of dialog material. Conversational Tagalog explores various ways of teaching language through actual and simulated activities, always working toward communicative competence. Grammatical explanations and exercises are based on what appears in a dialog and are not predetermined in the construction of the dialog.
