Ya right. I'm not the one that watches them. She does on the TV in the living room while we are cooking, eating, and visiting. It's pretty amazing how I can tell exactly what is happening without knowing a word they are saying. If there were subtitles, I would be forced into learning tagalog.

Half the time they speak English. It also deep English, as I have to translate sometimes the English for my wife. Also the same words seem to pop a lot. Learned that papatayin kita is not greeting to use at burger king. But for the most part between the Tagalog words used often and English, I can get by. The problem here is that they speak ilocano, not much Tagalog.

Well i can relate to what you say. My husband also watched the Filipino tv series coz I always watch it and asking me why they just don't talk straight English or straight Tagalog. Is it really like that so I will answer him that's what we call "Taglish" coz they combine it. I just need to translate it so he can understand what they are saying and later on he understand just a few Tagalog words now.
