FAQ

Is Tagalog an easy language to learn?

Learning basic Tagalog isn’t too challenging as long as you work with a certified tutor who can help you learn the alphabet and proper pronunciation. However, Tagalog is much different than the English language, so it can take some time to learn the ins and outs. The easiest way to help you learn this language is by signing up for our Tagalog lessons for beginners so that you can build a strong foundation and grow your skills.

What is the best way to learn Tagalog?

The best way to learn Tagalog is to sign up for private lessons where you can work one-on-one with a private tutor. During private Tagalog lessons, your tutor will instruct you on the basics, such as the alphabet, pronunciation, and common phrases. As you get more comfortable with the language, your tutor will introduce more complex aspects to help you work toward fluency.
