| Description |
I was born in the Philippines but moved to the US when I was three, so I guess my comfort level with the spoken language is at the three year-old level (ha!). I understand Tagalog pretty well in basic conversations , but even listening to it on TV can be very challenging.
My parents retired back to my birthplace, Baguio City, a few years ago. I have been visiting regularly ever since. I usually stay for three to six weeks, so I would like to take advantage of my extended stays by taking Tagalog lessons so that I can be comfortable in conversations with the locals.
I do my best to use the language, but I know my grammar is poor, and I can't really converse in complete or complex sentences...j ust a few words or common phrases. My priority is gaining more confidence in my conversation skills and speaking with a good accent.
My lesson time depends on my stay in the Philippines. If it is for several weeks, I'd like to get in as many lessons as possible, maybe 2-3 each week.
I have lots of cousins to practice with, but I need a teacher who can explain it also on a semi-formal level. I have experience in studying other foreign languages(Fre nch, German, and Portuguese) so similar approaches may also be helpful, as well as more intuitive approaches through conversation. I'd like the teacher to be outgoing and fun, but patient, prepared, and knowledgeable . The teacher should demonstrate a solid methodical approach, with good resources and exercises, so that I can continue my studies independently when I'm in the States.
