One of the surprises is how much my wife loves me studying Tagalog. If I did Cebuano, her L1, I bet she would be over the moon.
A happy wife is a good thing :-)


Oo mas importante ang asawa nga malipayon.


I can't decide if I made a mistake in going for Cebuano first. Less materials, but I kind of know it now and wouldn't risk interference with Tagalog yet.

Pinoys we know in the UK are a mix of different language speakers, so several languages in a group conversation, but quite a few Bisaya (including Mindanao) speakers.

If you ever decide to do some Cebuano, send me a message.

Best things I've found are a Mormon grammar, one Cebuano teacher (not yet booked), one or two Guttenberg / Librivox books and a shedload of memrise courses featuring very bukid (country, province, old fashioned) language from the 1930s. I'd also probbaly try to write on reddit or http://www.binisaya.com/

I'm concentrating on Spanish, but when I restart Cebuano, I'll do the Grammar, readlang (private as no Ceb) of youtube song videos with lyrics.

hi, i discovered this youtube channel demonstrates how tagalog words are used in dialogues so you have a high chance of retaining the words, and even phrases. https://youtu.be/cqVdpeQCdYU
