Learning a new language may be challenging, but with the right kind of activities, it can be a goal that's fun to achieve. This course is beginner-friendly with zero to a little knowledge of Tagalog to more advanced students. Students who are more advanced will not only be able to review basic concepts but will also be challenged to answer questions and hold simple conversations. Lessons are prepared based on the understanding that students who are going to take this course know how to read and have a basic understanding of the English grammar. 

In this ongoing course, students will be introduced to common phrases, fun expressions, and conversational Tagalog. Students will have an opportunity to grow in their ability to speak and understand this language. We will go over the basics of Tagalog reading, pronunciation and grammar. Students will use targeted vocabulary and sentences to help them build their own sentences using the skill they will learn in this class. 

For this course, I prepare slides and activities to make Tagalog understandable and the classroom experience fun and relatable for everyone! I like to add spontaneity in my classes to encourage free talk. I like interactions in the classroom and strive to achieve a class that’s informative and engaging. 

Each class will be 30-35 minutes long and will include any or all of the following:
Introduction - 3 minutes
Cultural Lesson - 2 minutes
Main Lesson and Practice - 20
Review and Application - 5
Question and Sharing - 5

I teach this class in different sections with different start time. Topics we learn in class include: mealtimes, daily routines, actions words, opposites, shopping, asking questions, hobbies, etc
