I don't know if Rosetta Stone has a Tagalog instruction program, but if it does it's a pleasant surprise. <a href="http://www.discount-coach-handbags-outlet.com/coach-glasses-c-10.html">Coach Glasses | ||

I don't know if Rosetta Stone has a Tagalog instruction program, but if it does it's a pleasant surprise. I recommend self-tutoring through audio, simply because schools and courses specifically for Tagalog are hard to find. Websites like BabelFish or Google Translate are good for quickies like common phrases, but not for learning.

Are their online courses or schools? Has anybody used Rosetta Stone? Has any one used or recumend portable PDA dictionary for translation or softwareone that is not a website? | ||

i think you could go to some online schooling for tagalog. But you can try to find out if there is a school near you that offers tagalog course. YAY | ||

He he he... I don't drink anymore but I suppose it would be hard. One time, a long time ago, I wrote a Tagalog poem in Baybayin Script during a drinking session; the next day I tried to read it - chicken scratch! LOL! So much for this cunning linguist.

And Unca Wally, they're up!

This is why Diacritic or Accent marks are important when writing with a focus on correct pronunciation. However, using (typing) diacritic marked letters and figuring out stresses they represent is complex and time consuming for the purpose and scope of this thread. So, I guess, in a way what Wally (Gentlewt) is asking his wife (C) is the easier approach to describing pronunciation; eg. we may have to say things like "A" as in Ant, or "A" as in Aphid.

Tip: Start off with the basic Filipino alphabet and how to pronounce them, then the basic words and the common phrases. Thats what i did with my American counterpart... and he will be going to the Philippines on his next R&R. | ||

@Whitegurl07
or... you ask us the tagalog version of any english word/s,phrase,statements, sentence...etc that you want us to translate... for sure you would see different versions(interpretations) :)
