PART OF A SET, which includes: Course Books 1-3, Workbooks 1-3,
Essential Tagalog Grammar (a comprehensive grammar reference) and
the Course Audio (7 CDs, or downloadable MP3s). Together, this
fully integrated suite of learning materials provides all the
essential elements you need to learn Tagalog in a fast, fun and
easy way and to speak Tagalog fluently. At a pace of 15-30 minutes
a day, you'll progress very quickly. In just 6 months (roughly 70
hours), you'll be able to understand and participate in everyday
Tagalog conversations.
--- Lively Stories, Literal and Natural Translations,
Pronunciation Marks ---
Through lively stories and dialogues taken from everyday life in
the Philippines, you'll learn useful Tagalog sentences from day
one. In the dialogues, every Tagalog sentence is broken down into
manageable chunks. Every word has a literal translation, and every
sentence has a natural translation, showing you what each word
means and how the sentence fits together. This will greatly help
you understand how Tagalog works. It will also save you a lot of
time, because you don't need to look up words.
All Tagalog words and sentences in the learning materials have
translations and pronunciation marks, so you'll know what every
word means and how to pronounce it.
--- "Whole" Language Learning ---
The dialogues are also an ideal way to learn the "whole"
language intuitively, with all its nuances, emotions, typical
expressions and choice of words. By learning vocabulary and
expressions in a meaningful context, you'll remember them more
easily and you'll be able to use them in the right situations.
--- Comprehensive Grammar Reference, Lesson Notes ---
The cultural and grammatical notes in the lessons, paired with
the comprehensive grammar reference, will give you an in-depth
understanding of the language, using short, simple explanations and
plenty of practical examples. You'll find the grammar reference a
valuable resource, even long after you have reached fluency.
--- Course Audio ---
By listening to the audio tracks and repeating them out loud,
you'll learn the correct Tagalog pronunciation and natural
intonation. Doing this will also help you memorize the
sentences.
--- Workbooks ---
The exercises in the workbooks are very effective at reinforcing
the vocabulary and sentence patterns you have learned in the
lessons. They are also a great way to test your progress. You can
check your answers against the answer key provided at the end of
each workbook.
--- Well-thought-out Structure, Learner's Perspective ---
The course has a well-thought-out structure that introduces
useful material early on while still being easy to follow. It has
been co-authored by a non-native speaker and carefully designed
from the perspective of the learner.
--- Level ---
Learning Tagalog: Fluency Made Fast and Easy is suitable for
beginners as well as intermediate learners. Advanced learners can
take it as a refresher.
