Methods To Learn Conversational English To Tagalog Speakers

By Pamela Robinson


People who are new to a language or know it but are not native or continuous speakers often need a crash course in fluency and conversation. For business and communications purposes, being able to converse with the current styles and usage of any language is a factor in making deals. And for being easily understood and being accepted in many circles.

Filipinos are familiar with the way Americans speak but often use it in ways that can be strange to native speakers. Conversational English to Tagalog speakers is something that can ease a lot of things for Filipinos. These can make them not only better understood, but also accepted as somebody educated enough to be treated with respect.

For Filipinos, speaking the pidgin known as Carabao English is used in speaking to Americans. When this is reversed, however, this will definitely be a disadvantage, whether for wanting to go to the toilet, or if you are in the process of drawing up a business contract. It is a sort of badge, knowing conversational English, often linked to being friendly with Americans.

For Americans who are in the Philippines for business, simple Tagalog will not be that hard. One good thing about it is that it has integrated many words from the English language. The basics for Tagalog are easily learned in conjunction with English.

Today, the thing to do is go online and can learn anything, and this is applicable on conversational Tagalog. There are translation systems for any language that is spoken by anyone living, and you can access one for studying the basics and their meaning, phonetics and how to use these when speaking in common or casual contexts. The most important items are those you need, like greetings, directions for rooms and places, and common activities.

You can do this in tandem with YouTube videos and an assortment of translator tools and language help available through search browsers. These have significantly reduced the need for formal instruction or training with human teachers, although the videos can show these same teachers there. So you are able to learn the basics with textual, visual and auditory means.

The best way to do it is probably enroll in those online courses that put everything together conveniently for you. For this, though, you have to pay, but online means for teaching can be very affordable, and the means to practice on your own will be there after just a few lessons. You can do the research online about this, because there are many helpful sites you can go to.

Being able to speak a bit like locals means that you have more traction in dealing in the country you have chosen to visit. And your experience there will be much more intensive, and you can achieve more or be able to do everything you came there to do. The first encounter with any speech you are familiar wit will be opaque, but this should not deter you from learning it.

Finally, the process of learning is always dependent on your abilities or interest, all the resources being there for your choosing. It is necessary to have some sort of commitment to find time to study intensively. If the learning ability is still active, you are able to keep much of what you learn long after its need is no longer important.
