just wanna know why u like the tagalog ? am glad u like it tho

Thanx!!!I guess I like it because it sounds interesting.And I can differentiate words.In some languages I don't even know where one word ends and the next begins.I'm interested in learning different languages.Thank you again!

no probs

Haha, my fiancee and I use those emoticons too. If you're interested in learning Tagalog, Pimsleur Language Programs and Rosetta Stone are great programs. Pimsleur teaches you conversational Tagalog and Rosetta Stone is a vocabulary builder (at least the first disc is so far).

Thanks!I'll try them.

hi there, can you tell me on where can i buy or order them? i already bought tagalog for beginners to my husband and i want to buy more for him

FYI, Pimsleur is only available through Barnes & Noble, but there's an authorized dealer on eBay who has them at much reduced prices compared to B&N:
http://stores.ebay.com/Learn-a-New-Languag...8QQftidZ2QQtZkm (He carries 2 courses, the one for $184.95 is the one I'm currently using). Seems expensive, but it's 16 CD's (32 courses) so there's quite a bit to be learned.

Rosetta Stone can be purchased at many places. I used Yahoo! Shopping for a price comparison and I think I ended up getting it through J&R Music but I'm not sure.

My goal is to be fluent when I return in Xmas 2010. My fiancee's father speaks English but is shy to speak it to me. My fiancee said he will not be shy to speak to me in Tagalog so I'm going to work hard at that!

Good luck!

thanks thanks

Well then, I guess I'll buy it when I get to USA because I cannot purchase on line.I doubt I'll be able to find it here in Serbia.Maybe I can look in Belgrade, you can find anything there.Thanks!

FYI, Pimsleur is conversational Tagalog. They are just CDs to learn how to speak Tagalog using the native tongue, they don't teach spelling of the words. It teaches you how to ask for directions, ask and tell the time, etc. I prefer this one because I drive a lot, so I can practice while I'm driving.
Rosetta Stone, in my opinion, is good for building vocabulary and learning how to spell and pronounce some words, but you can only use it on a computer.

1 sitting of either course (Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone) takes about 30 minutes a day.
