Can you teach me how to speak Filipino?

Answer 1

The way I learned Filipino (Tagalog) is by watching the Filipino channel and it's good to have someone translate then you will soon notice you can learn bits and parts till you can say sentences.

I am a Filipino so I can speak in Filipino. By the way, Tagalog is different from Filipino because Filipino-national language of the Philippines while Tagalog-dialect of the people in the Tagalog Region.

Answer 2

To speak Spanish, there are several ways to learn. Buy Spanish textbooks, dictionaries, Spanish-learning tapes, DVDs, or take Spanish classes.
if you are asking of how to learn speaking spanish, you have to study.

if the question is translating

*How do you speak* its: "¿Cómo hablas?"

or *how do you speak spanish*: "¿Cómo hablas Español?"

Answer 3

for example: for- orfa. you write the word without the first letter (or) then add the first letter (f) and then add "a". orfa means four. light is ightla. save is avesa. Get

it?

it really means if you have a coincident in front of the word well you really just take all of the coincidents to the back of the word and add ay.if there is a vowel you add yay.

Answer 4

Tough question to answer in a simple place like this. Bisaya is natively the most spoken language in the Philippines with about 26 million people using it daily.

Note, when you see a vowel repeated as in Maayong you say the word as Ma-ayong. Each vowel has to be pronounced separately.

Some very simple sentences and words for you to use in Bisaya are as follows

Maayong Buntag - Good morning

Maayong Hapon - Good afternoon

Maayong Gabii- Good evening / Good night

Komusta ka - How are you?

Maayo man - I`m fine.

Palihug- Please

Tagai ko kwarta, palihug. Give me money please.

Tubig - water

manok - chicken

baka - beef

baboy - pig

Now, another note. The spanish controlled the Philippines for over 300 years, so you will find words of spanish descent in Bisaya.

Pwede ko inom? May I drink?

Pwede means may, ko means I and imon means to drink.

Gusto ko kaon. I want to eat.

Gusto means want, again ko means I and kaon means to eat.

Answer 5

The Tagalog language is spoken by the Tagalog people. This is in the Philippines. These people are sometimes referred to as Filipino. In 2000, 96 percent of Phillipines could speak this language.

Answer 10

Hello this is Anonymous with your third lesson on Spanish...

Today we will be looking at accents and we will also have a quiz on the previous lessons so be ready!

Accents can be used to make sounds on letters to make them harder. In Spanish only the vowels can have accents like...

A - Á

E - É

I - Í

O - Ó

U - Ú

a - á

e - é

i - í

o - ó

u - ú

Look at these and learn.

When you have finished have a go at our quiz

What is a pronounced like?

A) ad

B) a

C) ah

D) an

Name the four letters in the Spanish alphabet that aren't in ours.

A) ó é á í

B) bn km op lo

C)ç y h o

D) ñ ll rr ch

And for our question of the day…

Do only vowels have accents?

Well that is the end of your third lesson with Anonymous. Next lesson we will be looking at the sounds that some of the letters make like ll y rr ñ. That's all for now.

¡Hasta pronto (see you soon)!
