In this class I will be teaching Tagalog verbs in the context of exercise. Verbs are action words so what better way to teach and foster language learning and acquisition by doing and acting out the words. "Mag exercise tayo tuwing umaga" is a very old and well-known Tagalog song that is known by many Filipinos who grew up in the Philippines especially in the 1970's. This song still rings in my head as we were all encouraged to get our bodies moving and exercising every morning. We will cover such verbs as: tayo - stand upo - sit talon - jump In addition to the action words (verbs) above, we will also cover animals as they will be copying movements of animals such as a: palaka: frog alimango: crab lizard: butiki Learners are all encouraged to come in comfortable attire and to have space around them to move, away from furniture. I will begin with a power point presentation to first present the verbs then do the actions. Students will be all be requested to have all their microphones on so that I can hear them repeat the words after me. I always like to call on each student individually to ensure they remain engaged throughout the lesson. In the second part of the class, we will play a Tagalog song while we have directed exercise in Tagalog. This gives the learners a chance to directly and immediately practice the words that they learned. With repetition and action, it is highly likely that each student will retain the verbs that they learn during class and get a nice workout at the same time. They do not need to have any experience or knowledge of Tagalog. Just an open mind and willingness to learn.
Learning Goals
To be able to listen, understand, say and do the Tagalog action words through directed exercise.
To spark and/or instill the desire to learn Tagalog and know more about Filipino culture.
Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in History from De La Salle University
Hi everyone! I’m Toni and I am a homeschooling mom. I have taught my kids, now 11 and 9, all core subjects. I am also a TESOL certified ESL teacher. I have taught almost 4,000 online classes in a span of two years. It's so heartwarming and humbling to know that I have educated over 13,000 Chinese students to date. I am excited to reach more students and teach what I love on the Outschool platform.
I also host educational live shows on another Chinese platform that can be viewed by hundreds of students all over China at one time. I teach anything that can help build their vocabulary and fluency such as: the seasons, weather, holidays & festivals, health & hygiene, parts of the house and even fun events in Texas.
I love bringing my lessons and classes to life. I truly believe that teaching is 1/4 preparation and 3/4 theatrics.
I have a BA in International Studies. My first job was at the United Nations headquarters in New York but I was always drawn to the hospitality industry. After a year at the UN, I switched careers and started my first hotel job at the iconic and landmark hotel, the Waldorf=Astoria, New York. 9 years later, I found myself at another luxury and historic property, this time in Canada, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. I started planning high-end meetings, conferences, parties and weddings.
It is this background of many years that has shaped my work ethic today. Working in the luxury sector requires you to always impress guests by going above and beyond their expectations. It is a hard habit to break. I have consciously or subconsciously applied this my teaching style. When I design lessons, I aim to bring a wow-factor for my students so that they are left with not just learning the information but having a memorable experience that will last way past the lesson.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy pursuing other interests like baking, antiquing, thrifting and dancing. I love baking treats with my kids and making more than plenty to give to neighbors and friends with pretty handmade packaging. I am a huge fan of flea markets and thrift stores. I enjoy the thrill of the find and being creative in repurposing and upcycling furniture. I am in love with Latin dance music. I learned how to dance the salsa when I lived in New York. I attended hundreds of social dance events in the city and even traveled to Palm Springs, Los Angeles and Miami for International Latin Dance conferences and workshops.
These days however, as a busy work from home mom, we are happy to ask Alexa play us some tunes and dance in the living room and kitchen.
