Ate Rhoda, I enjoyed learning tagalog under your guidance. Thank you for helping me understand my native tongue!
PSA President, J.Vincent Syfu
Wow! What a cool web page! But are you a "his" or a "her"? :)
napakabuti! This is a very good website! Ate Rhoda and Ate Sheila should get a much needed cash reward for this! This site is so good, that NIU won't need a Tagalog course any more, we could all learn off of this website. But, what about a link page to Filipino interests? -ang bakla ;-)
Ano ba ang tunay? Filipino o Pilipino? Filipino language is correct. Filipino thus is an adjective. Ano ang Pilipino? The people or the language? But we say the Filipinos as well.
Just a thought that is bugging me. Isang kaisipan na ini-insekto ako. "bug". He ! He! this is for you Shiela.
By the way, good job!!! My kudos to all of you Rhoda, Shiela, Noel and R. Ong too?

This is a very well designed page. Ang galing, kung sino man ang gumawa, taas ang kamay ko sa'yo nakakabilib. Keep it up! Nina

I want to learn to speak tagalog. How do I register with this site to help me learn, take the quizes etc.
Is this site for me? You should develope a mailing list that has a "word"/"phrase of the day". You may have many subscribers and I would be one.
Don Fauver Balut01@AOL.COM
Wow- this is a really nice web site.....I can't believe that there's a web site for just about anything, even a Tagalog web site...Anywaz...it looks really good...and I know I'll be visiting it often..

Very nice site!! great place for people who wants to learn tagalog.
Greetings matts.berggren@swipnet.se
Thank you for creating this web site! I am learning Tagalog on my own and this site will be of immense help in speeding up my learning process.
Malaking tulong ito sa mga pilipinong lumaki sa ibang bansa na hindi makapagsalita ng tagalog. Nais ko sanang makakita rin ng English - Tagalog Dictionary dahil ang alam ng mga bata ay English. Nagpapasalamat po sa inyo,
Franklin
Outstanding sight. I have seen most of what is out there for Tagalog learners. Your time to create such a sight is a true credit to you and all involved. I hope you continue on the stucture you have developed. This will be the place to come! Thanks, Tagalog learner. j082002@hotmail.com
if anyone can give me the dictionary meaning of kabataan, i would really appreciate it. just e-mail it to tcord@hotmail.com. thanks!
I would like to see more information added to your web-site like the actual number of Tagalog speakers - and a more in depth look at the phonology of the language.
this website is for people who are interested to learn about the basics of Tagalog language, not necessarily a book where one could expect an "in-depth" analysis of Tagalog phonology; the immediately preceding comment indicates that the person wants to substitute the internet for a serious library work! hello!
Maganda itong webpage na ginawa ninyo. Paki-tignan lang ang tagalog word for estudyante sa chapter comparing Tagalog and Filipino. Hindi ba dapat "nagaaral" iyon? Adelwisa Weller, University of Michigan.
I am a begining student of tagalog and I always enjoy looking up different sites and learning what I can, but I could really use someone to talk to so that I can learn more.
Howie
I could not get this site to work, using either Netscape 3.0 or IE 4.0. The dictionary screens would load, but if I type a word and press the look-up button, nothing else happens. It looks like a cool site, though! I am interested to learn Tagalog because I have a Filipino wife.
i really like this website! they don't teach tagalog at my school, and learning on my own has been a bit difficult... thanks for the help! :)
This is a very helpful site to those who don't know Tagalog.
how do you get to your online dictionaries?
This website is very comprehensive.......Keep up the good work!
Tinitignan ko lang kung maganda kasi parang walang mga batang nag Tatagolog dito eh, diba? Maganda ang ginawa ninyo.
Thank you for this site. I beleive it is God sent! I have been Trying to learn more of the language since my visiting your country in the early 60's. Your work has been a blessing! Thank you. ddrapersr@aol.com
Very nice page! I'm learning... Can someone please tell me what mauunawaan translates into please? jetmek20@aol.com
As of yet a lot of pages seem to be under construction. No problem, but it would be better if you let the surfer know that certain parts are not yet available.
The pages which are done look fine, though. I learnt a lot.
Bart van der Griendt The Netherlands
Yes, I am impressed - the only problem I have are the astronomically high phone bills I'll get over here in Germany - is there any text book available?

Wow What a great effort you have put in so far!!! For those looking wanting to learn you are certainly doing a GREAT Service!!! I have been struggling to learn Tagalog for some years now. I can converse, but not well yet. I have always recognized a need for better learning materials. Especially an electronic form of a Tagalog dictionary. I was excited to find that you had put this one on the internet, but saddend when I found I could not get it to work for me. I will be checking back to see if it is working any better for me in the future. All the other elements of the site are superb as well. THANKS!!!! (for the effort you are putting in here) -Scott Bitton. (sbitton@usa.net) If anyone knows of a downloadable Tagalog/English word list I would appreciate letting me know. I have a program to print paper flash cards and would use it as input. I would be glad to share what I have too.
I am trying to learn more about my native tongue. Thanks for the help. I wasn't able to get into the dictionary though. Hope you get that working. I'll be back!
I am trying to determine the origin of the name of Subic Bay. Is Subic a Tagalog word or was this name given by the Spanish or Americans when the Philippines was a possession of either of thosse countries? Can anyone give an answer. If so, please reply to: doofus@lodinet.com.
Salamat po!
Magandang bati sa inyo.
Sana matulungan niyo ako. Maaari po bang malaman ang 'electronic mail' o 'e-mail' sa wikang tagalog?
Salamat. Kung maaari lang po, paki e-mail ako sa calgary@bigfoot.com. Salamat muli.
Your web page has been very valuable in my goal to speak Tagalog fluently. I have many friends in the Philippines and I hope one day to speak Tagalog that everyone can understand. The dictionary is most helpful and I hope you continue to keep this site growing and strong. Thank you, Brad Daughtry
I'm very excited about this site! I'm glad both pinoys and kanos can finally have a decent tagalog tutorial. I was a graduate of the City College of San Francisco's Philippine Studies program. Nice to see more online resources for further study!
steve johnson 25 W. Roy St. #406 Seattle, WA 98119
Hi, I opened all three dictionaries. In all cases nothing happened after I entered a word and clicked lookup. Is this because the server is down? Also, can you reccomend a study Tagalog cd?
Thank you, Michael Fabrikant Mike_fabrikant@hotmail.com
Great Site! I use it all the time, and it helps me learn the language more. (I married a Filipina!) Can you put in a program also that looks up the Tagalog word for an English word? Thanks again, Steve Nichols nicholsse@eccic.com
This is really great. I still want to thank Ate Rhoda and Ate Sheila for their help :) Salamat uli! mluistro@niu.edu MariaLiza
what we americans need is a dictionary where you plug in an english word and the translation in tagalog is revealed. bo1116@aol.com
Ako si Dennis Capistrano. Hinahangaan ko, hinahaling ko ang marikit at makaalamang pahina nyong nataguyod sa Internet. Marami akong napuna mga palabra at mga hagap na mauutil kong mabisa saking pang-udtoang gawi at panhabagang-buhay kong maiimpok saking tinataohan. Napakamatanghal ang nailantad nyo dito. Ang madlang suliranin sating lipunan at wika ay ang limpong tatag ng ating wikang pambansa, dahil mas tanggapan ang Ingles, o wikang gayahan. Di sa masama ang mag-Ingles, kundi, masama ilait ang Pilipino, dahil sa Ingles. Kasali narin ilang mga wika o dialect na ating sinosolo. Di rin na ang Pilipino ay lubosan, kundi ito'y mahalagang sangkap ng ating kataohan, ating pinagmulan, at ating pagkasarili. Ang Ingles ay mas mainam gamitin sa mga term nasa Pilipino'y wala o punya ang tumbas. Ang mga term tinutukoy ay halos mga teknikal, pan- agham, o abstract, na kaya nalikha'y para mabigyan halaga sa isang kisap ng isip. Madalas meron din tayong tumbas sa mga palabra na heyon, ngunit di tayo nag-aralan o educad, o lan-ito sa mga bagay- bagay payak at saligan sating wika. Ang raan kaunlaran ng wika ay di lang nakagipit sa landas na makitid, kundi, ito'y kumakalat sa iba ibang lansangan na maigi sa mga gumagamit. Pero kahit na maramihan ang pilian, kelangan parin natin magkarun ng batayang raan, na mabisa, mainam, maliksi, tyakan, tumpakan, o gamakanng wika. Wika na ating pagkakatiwalaan, ikakaginhawa, ikakaunlad, ipagmamalaki, ikakabuhay, ikakasabay sa mga pagbabago ng panahon. Buod kong marami sating masisilbihang mabuti sa lantay ng yaman inuusbong ng matabang butil ng dunong ng pahina nato. Walang duda na maski ako'y namangha sa napakakisig at hagwaying tindig ng pagkamakaPilipino pagkamakataong adhikain ng aklatin na ito. Mag-aral, matuto biagan. Mabuhay Tayo Lahat!!!

An excellent Filipino homepage!
Hey, this website's really neat. About time Tagalog got some web presence. Maraming salamat po! D.Pinpin (dpinpin@yahoo.com)
Oh yeah. Here's a poser. Is it Tagalog or is it Pilipino? You see, much as I would like to see a common Philippine language, what passes for Pilipino now is (I hate to say it) really Tagalog. So how now, brown cow?
Ako gusto yun mashado marame.
The dictionaries did not appear on the screen. The introduciton on how to use them did though. Caluroso@juno.com
I think your web site is very helpful. I'm trying to learn tagalog so I can get back to my roots. Thank you for having this page. And the saying means Those who are eager are better than those who are hardworkers.
Chris from Florida
I have a desire to learn conversational tagalog. I am english and would like to spend some time in the philipines over the next few years. After browsing the web, I came across your site. thank you for placing this valuable resource online. One comment that I would make as a recommendation is that much more use should be made of audio files. Whenever a phrase, or sentence, or word is placed on your pages for tuition purposes, then an audio file giving the correct pronunciation, and a description of the word in english would improve the functionality and effectivness of your site as a tagalog training site. Thank you again.
Hey cool site, I am just a beginner, but this is helping alot. Maraming salamat po. kuya Brian
It has been a long time, since I played it, but I would like to find out if there is any written article showing how to play the filipino backyard games like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Piko etc. I belong to Filipino organization in Phoenix, Arizona and this coming June 12 we would like to present a cultural awareness to our kids here in States and also bring back memories for old folks like me, of what we normally do after school since at that time we improvised most of our toys and do not have the convenience of going to "Toys R Us". Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
I am interested in creating a Web-based program for Hindi language instruction. What sort of software does your Tagalog Website use?
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Karl J. Schmidt, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of History Missouri Southern State College
Are there plans to create webpages for other Philippine dialects? I saw http://www.bisaya.com/ but I prefer your format and style
hi sheila, darn good page you have here. yes, i've visited it before. jaguar@broline.com
I think you should be more flexible in accepting modern Tagalog words. Foreigners encounter them much more often than old Tagalog.
I have a desire to learn Tagalog. I am english with no Tagalog experience. It would help me tremendously if the english equivalent to each phrase or word could be included alongside the Tagalog. For example, the greetings section in the beginning tagalog lesson lists several greetings, the sound files are great, but I've no idea what I'm saying. Thank you for the site however - it's a great resource which I expect to be using a great deal over the next few months.....
Maraming Salamat Po! Thank you very much for creating this wonderful and very informative web site for our Kababayan here in America. I am so pleased to see how beautiful to know and to learn the Pilipino language. Salamat uli...
Wow, this is the best Tagalog site I've ever seen.
I am a Sri Lankan-Australian live in Melbourne, Australia.
But I love Philippines. Because of my best friend Lennie and other Filipino friends I am learning Tagalog. I can see there is a lot to learn from your site.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I have been here before and keep coming back. Every page is full of resources and I don't know where to start. I try to spend at least 30 minutes a day on this site I hope I'll be able to speak the language fluently before I startwith a new Philippines project. Most importantly I can get more closer to my friends.
Madhu Fernando, Project Manager, Ericsson Australia.
What a beautiful website you have. I certainly will add a link to it from my website. Thank you. I invite you to check out my family website at http://members.xoom.com/boyboy where I have a large collection of photos of the Philippines and the largest collection of photos of Jeepneys. Cheers!
I have really enjoyed exploring your site. I am a student of psychology and not of Filipino background. I grew up in a small southern town in rural Virginia and never had the opportunity to experience other cultures until I went away to college. My attending my university has opened me up to the Filipino culture. Last summer I started my journey into the Filipino culture by going to the local bookstore to look up anything I could on the culture and language. I was disappointed to find that books were incredibly had to come by. Living near Washington DC, I'm lucky because I have access to the world's ebassies. I figured the Filipino Embassy would be a great place to start. There I was reffered to a local language school where I enrolled in an inensive one-on-one language program. HOwever, IT WAS EXPENSIVE! But, it gave me a great grounding in the language. We used Dr. Terista V. Ramos' text, Conversational Tagalog. I thought it was a great text. Unfortunatly I had to abandon my class for personal economic reasons and to focus more on my main area of studeis. Now that it is my summer break and I have time to dedicate to my study of Filipino culture and Tagalog, I was just talking with a friend about how I wished i could find something interactive and that would get me involved. LIke magic I was browsing the web for Filipino CHildren's Books, and I found your site, Which is exactly what I needed. It even corresponds to the text I'm using! Maraming Salamat! This summer I plan to dive intensely into the language. My goal is to be much more proficient in not only my ability to speak and comprehend but my writing as well. I expect that your site will be a great help! Sincerely, Brad Blankenship jblanke1@osf1.gmu.edu
The Tagalog homepage is my favourite web site. I really enjoy learning and it's fun to read something about the Philippine Culture too. A special "salamat po" to Noel, who always answers my e-mail questions so fast. It's only a pity that people from Europe can't take part at the "Tagalog chat room". The time difference is just to big! However, congratulations to the Tagalog team and please keep on telling and learning people all over the world, about the Philippine language and culture. Many greetings from Switzerland
Beat
you havent even taught these words yet. why look them up or try to read something you never saw before. teach them first, then give us a poem to put them into.
Good site. I am attempting (slowly) to learn Tagalog right now and this site is a great help.
Now at least I can get a rough idea what my Mahal wants when she is shouting at me.
Looking forward to the English/Tagalog dictionary!

Katy, Dekalb IL- Kumusta po kayo?
I couldn't find either "still surviving"or "still alive". I looked both under "Tagalog lessons" and the other place you told us to look.
This web-site has so much information in it! It's fantasic!! I liked everything about it. The only thing I would like to see in the future would be something about modern day culture (such as the pop music, animation, movies, etc. that are popular). I hear you are going to make a dictionary that will convert english to Tagalog. That will be really neat!
your web site is very good the only thing that would make it better would be to hve an english-tagalog dictionary.
other than that it was super. i really learned a lot.
~~~~~~~~Brianna Paquette~~~~~~~~~
Your website is awesome. I want to teach my kids Tagalog. Your group efforts are to be applauded.
this was fun . but it would be more interesting if we could learn things that would be interesting to us, teenagers. they have a special site for kids, but not people in our age group. overall, the experience was fun. ~justin santos & sheena cortez~
this site is very educational and helps everyone learn their culture. visiting this site was a great experience to me, and i will visit this site to learn about southeast asia. Salamat Po for taking the time and showing us how to use this website. Thanks again sincerly, allison palisoc and calvin buado 8/12/99
The website was very fun and educational. I like the chatroom a lot.So far NIU has been really fun for me. -Kristine Buado
I also liked the chat room. You make it fun to learn our language. I think its good that you want us to know our culture and cultural backround.-Anne Quiaoit
we just wanna say that this is fun. and talking and learning more about my native tonuge was really fun. but anyway i'll visit u guys later. yeah i just wanted to say that i found it kinda annoying how you guys didn't seem to have a english-tagalog dictionary it just went the other way only.... i thought all the mutimedia stuff was cool... but i think the site could use more english for all those second generation filipinos who don't know the intricacies of the tagalog language. i needed to ask someone what Rizal's quote translated into. otherwise you guys have a great site with much potential. keep up the good work.
The trip here was really board I almost fell and I got hit in head 5 times.
Got to learn a lot about the culture of the Phillipines.
The website was really cool
tony palisoc
kumusta ka? yeah this was fun. thank u Ate Rhoda and Kuya Noel 4 taking time out 2 b here w/ us. That is all. now can we go eat now. cuz i'm really hungry........... buh bye.... steve and lenore
I liked this site because it was very organize. also it taught me more tagalog. Karlo I liked this site because it taught me more about where I was from. Herman
Very impressive website. Keep up the good work !

Wow! This page is great. I was asking my parents to teach me how to conjugate the tagalog verbs with the affixes, but they could not explain it well, but with this site, I kind of got the idea of it! Salamat po!
I am going to have my children try and learn Tagalog from you . I really enjoyed your website and I will be visiting it more often.
Deborah
I have tried to email you twice....did you change your email address??? If so could you send me your new address. west2112@webtv.net
Excellent source of information about the Philippines and its people.I would like to see it include: (1)origins of its people; (2) a bibliography or citation listing sources of the information. Pancit is the generic term for noodles. It can be classified according to the cereal used such as bihon (from rice), miki (from wheat) or sotanghon (from soy bean); or the method of cooking - luglug, guisado, Canton, Malabon, kawali, may sabaw, etc.
.
Congratulations for a very nice website! I enjoyed browsing it and I feel very great that Filipinos can do such beautiful and interesting work of art. Mabuhay!!!
Gerardo
Dear Rhoda I'm so glad to see your web site and I'm too impressed. I can honestly say I was so surprised to meet you and your family there in Iowa. I will come back to your site soon as I can but its that I just stop by the library to use the computer.
Your friend Kelly Doell.
I am a "newbie" working on a website for the local community organization here in Virginia Beach, Virginia. While researching for ideas, I came across your fantastic website. If you have no objections, I will LINK your site to the one I am working on. This will give the opportunity for the Filipino youths to learn about our Mother Land. And for the older generations to reminisce about the good old days.
My home email address is: <ernie@vabch.com>
I have just consulted your Tagalog dictionary on line. You have forgotten the accents on Tagalog words so that we don't know on what syllable stress is and whether or not there is a final glottal stop. Why didn't you emulate good dictionaries like those of Panganiban, Santos, English?
Congratulations for your website. Ang how useful it is! I have been using your tutorial service quite often, and I must say Noel Morada is quite genial and patient. Keep on the good work going. Jean-Paul: potetjp@wanadoo.fr
This is a great site. I am learning really fast and it is improving my relations with my in-laws everyday. Ako po ay taos-pusong nagpapasalamat. Chris Cluckey
maganda at maayos ang mga nilalaman ng website na ito... lalong-lalo na yoong mga litrato. keep up the great work. i'll definitely link this to my site and refer it to my friends and colleagues.
best wishes!

I am learning tagalog while working here in Alaska, and that was after having the opportunity to visit there in July '99. I am very excited about returning, and would like to know much more of the language before I return. I would also like to know if you know of any way sites where I could learn medical terms in Tagalog. I am a RN and would like to help out when I return, but feel the need to have better communication. If you could help me out I would really appreciate it. Also, how do I get on the Quiz list?
Thank You very much, Brad Clere bclere@peacehealth.org
Very informative, artistic and creative website! After reading your website, I felt quite nostalgic. It reminded me of my happy childhood days back home - eating "manga and bagoong" and playing "piko" all day. I most enjoyed reading the poetry and riddles section. It made me smile. THANK YOU. I wish the other readers - not only will find this very useful - but will also remind them that "there's really no place like HOME"...

Hi everyone,
My name is Paul Moraga and I am a graduate student at San Francisco State University in the department of Instructional Technology (College of Education). I am in the process of developing a computer-based instructional piece on Tagalog for medical personnel. I have studied Tagalog, but I am not fluent (or even close).
I am looking for people who would be interested in assisting me with questions about Tagalog usage or with user testing a little further down the line.
If you are interested, please e-mail me at pmoraga@sfsu.edu
Maraming Salamat!
Paul Moraga Daly City, CA
i like your homepage but i need lyrics for the tagalog songs. i cant find them anywhere.
Hi,
Just want to let you guys know that you did a marvelous job with your website. It's something that all Filipinos can be proud of.
Sobrang Galing ng Pagkagawa. Keep up the good work.
SJ Cruz
Certainly looks better since I visited this site last year. I hope you get to complete the other features.
Superb!!! Mabuti na lang may site na ganito para sa mga nasa malayong tulad ko, especially sa place like Moscow na iba ang language. Nakalimutan ko na salita natin. I'll be in touch now.
evelyn Moscow
hi...i am a british guy..(scottish actually)...but i have visited the philippines before and i am due to marry my filipina fiancee there in december.. your site helped me a lot with basic understanding of tagalog and a bit of filipino culture too...
I enjoyed very much reading and learning from your site . You have done a wonderful job ! Maraming salamat!
We are a translation agency always in need of Tagalog translators for election material with some sort of translator certification. Can you recommend anyone or guide me to where we may find a qualified Tagalog translator?
Great Site! I visit here all the time, because I am trying to learn this beautiful language. Sometimes the translator don't work, but usually the problem is resolved quickly. One day, I 'd like to see a page that allows one to type in a whole sentence of Tagalog, and translate the entire sentence to English! Now that would be a big programming project!!
This site has a lot of Tagalog info for us beginners.
It's too bad I didn't check out this website earlier in the semester. I find it very useful and informative. I will definitely use it in reviewing for my Tagalog final in two weeks. - Karen Caturan
its nice but i have question gusto ko sana i send ninyo sa akin kung sino kumanta ng just tell me u love me pls
I appreciate your site so much!!! It's so hard to find any info on tagalog where I live. I will definiately put you on my favorites list.
Salamat po sa inyong lahat sa pagtulong tulong ninyong maibigay ang lahat ng nilalaman ng tagalog cyber-bahay. Ito pa lamang ang aking nakitang lugar na kinakitaan ko ng lahat na dapat malaman sa Pilipinas. Ito ngayon ang aking ginagamit upang maturuan ang aking mga anak tungkol sa Pilipinas. Maliit pa sila ng kami ay mapadpad sa kalawakan ng Amerika. Ngunit lagi namin silang iminumulat sa kagawian sa ating bansa at ngayon ay malaking tulong ang lugar na ito upang aming makamit ang aming ninais na mapalawak ang kanilang kaalaman tungkol sa ating bansa.
Mabuhay po kayong lahat.

Tita Rhoda, I like the website very much.But when I opened the Tagalog chat the document was not found Karl Gallo
I think that this is such an incredible website and I totally give yaul your props most definetly!I'm Filipino and just learning how to speak it and this is really helping me!Thanks!
Love, Michelle Divine Hensel
This is great!!! Thank you very much for all your hard work. It would be nice if we can have some Tagalog Christmas songs. Ano po ang masasabi ninyo?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God Bless you all.

Well I used this site before I went for my second trip to Manila and successfully used the Tagalog I learned with my new close friend -
Maraming Salamat,
Taz.
Hello! Ako po si Nobue at ang dating estudyante ni Mama Terry (Ramos) sa UH. Puwede po kaya makapasok sa Quiz sa on-line bilang guest? Tumatype ako ng 111-11-1111 sa kahon, pero ayaw yata ang command na ito. Kaya wala akong magagawa. Kung meron ho kayong sagot dito, paki-alaman na lang ako! Maraming salamat po sa inyo! More power to itong page at Tagalog Program sa NIU! Maligayang pasko at Masaganang Bagong Taon! Gumagalang, nobue suzuki
Hello! Ako po si Nobue ulit! I thought this page really fantastic! I also regretted that at the University where I studied Tagalog did not have this kind of service at the time I was there.
At the same time, it would be very nice if I could hear sounds more and more directly. Halimbawa, when I click a word, it tells me how I should pronounce it. So, Mama Terry doesn't have to be embarrased by my pronunciation! Songs as well. It'd be very nice if Filipino-Japanese kids I deal with can sing Lupang Hinirang on-line!
I know creating this kind of site takes a lot of time and concerted effort and dedication. But I hope that we would all be benefitted from your program, especially outside the US, where a growing numbers of Pinoy live today.
Marami pong salamat!
nobue suzuki
Napakahusay ang website ito. I have been studying Filipino/Tagalog on and off for about 4 years. It's nice to see that there is a serious website dedicated to those of us that want to learn. I was excited to see that there is a chat room available particularly for learners. However, there never seems to be anybody chatting there. Is there a time that is better than others to log in? Anyway, kudos to Dr. Ramos for her dedicated efforts and far reaching tutorial materials. Your books are always a source of reference for me (I have most of them). If I ever become truly conversant in Tagalog, your works will have been an integral part of my goal. Salamat po sa ninyong lahat. Sa palagay ko, di-maaari wala ang site ito sa mga estudyanteng lahat sa tagalog.
Thanks ! It's much help me to speak Tagalog in the shourt time.
Hello It's nice web, But I can operate the Dico Why ? Is it in fonction ?
Thierry
I really enjoyed this site...thanks also for providing other links...I wish i could find more books for kids (tagalog klasik) para maibasa ko sa aking anak. Maraming salamat sa pagbuo ninyo ng web site na ito. More power to ya'll.

Hello! This is a nice site. However, I really need a English to Tagalog dictionary. Are you going to make one someday? Do you have any idea where I could find one in the meantime? Let me know, huh. Thanks.
God Bless!

hello everybody, saan po ako makabili nang encyclopedia na pilipino version?maraming salamat po,ang umaasa albert sa osaka japan.
I stumbled upon this site by accident while helping someone translate an English phrase into Tagalog, as I'm feeling rusty. But what a great find this turned out to be!! I know it must have taken a lot of time and effort. CONGRATULATIONS from Singapore !! I know I'll be visiting very often ...
Seasite,
Thank-you for giving me a site to go for Tagalog. My wife is Filipina and she tries to teach me Tagalog. Your site helps me learn the language without trying her patience.

I wish I had known about your web site before choosing my email name, but then not many pinoy have trouble remembering it. My dictionary said "cheater" ( a non-conformist sounding name, I thought) but I have since found out it means, as you know, "philanderer". Your site also looks very nice and has a quick load time.
Sincerely, Charles Bell
this homepage is good and can be something i can be proud of. pls keep up the good work!!!!!
this website is nice and easy to download. keep up the good work!!!!!!
Impressive!!! And I enjoy navigating the page and this is the page that I'm waiting for to teach my son as he grow. I'm glad I found this site. I wish though that you will come up with some nursery rhym for little ones in the kids sections for the parents to teach there growing children. Keep up the good work folks, this is really great and very helpful to those who wants to learn more about our culture, the things that you have here is real good helpful that's all I can say and thanks very much for coming up with this great wonderful idea.
I would like to know more of the language, unfortunatly your lessons are written in tagalog with no easy way to use the power of the computer to quickly interpret the words as you find them, as the paste function is dissabled in the look up dictionary. Any language learning project needs a starting point where one may first learn the most commonly used words of a language, by referencing it to english. Your lessons fall very short of that minimum, so interesting as your site is, it is useless to one wishing to learn some of the language.
Hi,I wanted to tell you that I love this sight.I have been trying to learn tagalog for a while now, by the cassette tapes.This is so much better.Thank you!! I do have a question,..... Does anyone know of how I can get a hold of some cassette tapes,of fiction or non-fiction books.Not the "learn how to speak" tapes, but ones that are an actual book.(In tagalog of course)I dont have anyone to practice with,or listen to,so I thought that listening to a book in tagalog,would help out a lot.(ronda789@yahoo.com) Thank you so much
great !! i was able to look up for the word "baduy" and as well as to...thanks
I just wanted to thank you for putting this info FREE on the internet! I went searching on-line for bookstores selling Tagalog dictionaries and found a lot more here. Maraming salamat po!

Excellent. This is a great contribution to the preservation and promotion of the Filipino language and culture. This site should be made a national treasure. Keep up the good work.
Maraming salamat sa napakagandang website ninyo. I see that you have the title "Ang Dalagang Pilipina" on your list. Is it possible to request the lyrics for it? I'll be performing on a beauty pageant here in Toronto and I was asked to serenade the contestants. I'd like to sing this song and one other in English. If you have the lyrics for "Ang Dalagang ...", please kindly email it to me as soon as you can. Thank you and more power to your site.

May I suggest that you create a special forum where Pilipinos all over the world can reminisce and try to recapture all the Filipino songs in Tagalog that has been sang but are now scattered in the long-term memory of the Filipinos. Recapture them by inviting Filipinos to submit a song that they know but could not quite complete because they had forgotten some of the parts. If anyone knows the tune they can submit it to you, and someone can put a note in them and have them played in piano like an accompaniment that your audience can listen to while reading and singing the song as you printed almost like kareoke with Filipino songs. Let me start with a song I keep remembering but I had forgotten the first part:
ANG KISLAP NG 'YONG MATA, AT DITO SA BUKID AY NAGING ILAW. TAYO MANIRAHAN. DULOT NG PAG-IBIG MO'T KUNG SAKALING TAYO'Y MASAYANG ARAW. MAKASAL NA, LAGI KONG INA-ASAM, IROG MAGTAYO KA, NA KITA AY MAKASAL, DITO KAHIT KUBO....

your tagalog tutor, comes back as a bad address, tried to have a translation of ambot sa imo!, but my question came back undeliveralbe, using AOL at ochoagosto@aol.com
This is the BEST Tagalog website I've ever seen. It is very evident that you spent time and effort to make this site visually appealing and educationally superior.
I would like to learn my mother's language. She is from Iloilo, and there is no help for me on-line.
The site was very well put together for the Philippine culture. It is one of the best site I've seen and please continue to add new articles at your Home Page.
Your site is a tool to inform Filipinos to take pride of our own culture-- arts, language, religion and politics.
Although the political part of the Philippines right now is on a gray area under Estrada's administration, we hope that Filipinos will work harder to achieve the real sense of democracy and freedon.
I enjoyed reading your views and articles regarding the EDSA revolution. I was in the Philippines 13 years ago and I witnessed the non-violent EDSA revolution rally against Marcos. I am glad that until today, Filipinos has not forgotten to commemorate one of the most important date in our history.
Keep up the good work of your site and more power to you. Thank you...

Hi! I've used the dictionary (large) to look up some tagalog words I need for schooling (college).But sadly, I am still left w/ 55 more w/c seems to be not included in ur the dictionary's data base. I tried to e-mail but I encountered problems as well. It says "Unable to start application. One of the required components may be busy.Pls. retry." When I did, this came out "The specified Internet Mail action could not be completed. Pls. check the syntax of the command line." So I decided to post my comment because I badly need ur assistance. Pls e-mail me through honeyjimenez@hotmail.com so that I can get ur address and e-mail my specific Tagalog word problems (meanings). I hope you can respond to my request asap. Thanks! *Can u add a Tagalog Thesaurus to ur educational/informative page sometime too?*
Dear sir/ma'am,
Kindly tell me when to use the word NANG? am currently using your site to teach a Japanese our native language.
Salamat po.
Hi, I'm Indonesian, I really like this site because I can learn how to read and speak Tagalog. Thank you !

The website is really good, but when I was trying to get into the "Tagalog Tutor: translations, help, etc," it wouldn't let me.
I would like to get the verse of the Bible on John 3:16 in Tagalog
Here is the translation of John 3: 16 in Tagalog:
SAPAGKAT GAYON NA LAMANG ANG PAGSINTA NG DIYOS SA SANLIBUTAN KAYA'T IBINIGAY NIYA ANG KANYANG BUGTONG NA ANAK, UPANG ANG SINO MANG MANANALIG SA KANYA AY DI MAPAHAMAK, KUNDI MAGKAROON NG BUHAY NA WALANG HANGGAN. -- Noel M.
By accident I stumbled on your website. Very good and very interesting! My congratulations! I'm especially interested to know more about Cebuano and Waray. How can I hear it? Also native songs, is there anyway I can hear it over the internet? You people have a great, great culture. Please protect it from the outside!! Gerard Harteveld, email orquiflora@hotmail.com
KABAYAN.... WALA BA TAYONG PALAISIPAN (CROSS WORD) ALA E VERY NICE EKSELENTO IBA TALAGA ANG PINOY
I love your website design. I'm a web designer and I look at a lot of sites to check them out and I really like this one.
This site will come in handy since my son and I are trying to learn Tagalog.
Lydia Finerty
I love the design of your website but I strongly suggest you lose the clip art for the Tagalog Tutor and Chatroom. It really jars with the sophisticated look of the paintings and site design.
may be this is not a "good" question, but i can't find the following words in the online dictionnary : sandaling; naging; susunod; rin; pagkakataon thank you for your help and sorry if they are "mistaked" words jeanpierre.delacoux@free.fr
hey ate rhoda:) just wanna say hello and see how you're doing? remember me, marializa mluistro@niu.edu

I was stationed at Subic Bay in the early 70's. I really liked the country and the people. I remember some Tagalog but it's been a long time ago. Any help or other sources dealing with learning the language would be appreciated. Salamat Po! Steve at longshot_308@yahoo.com
Thank you for this excellent site. It is comforting to see sites like this on the web as it gives us legitimacy as Pilipino Americans.

Your site is very good in terms of the interactive learning tools that you provide.
However.. A lot of the words you say to look up in the dictionary do not exist in the dictionary, so how am I supposed to know what they mean?
hey, this is a great site, very well organized. i was having trouble with tagalog grammatika, pero marunung ako (kaunti lang, at least. magaling salitain ako, pero hindi sulatin ... is that right? i'm still learning) after coming to this site. the only problem i had was the dictionary, but i found one at http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~budoka/tagadic.html (i think this will help others with some of the words that aren't in the dictionary here). thanks a lot for the site ... PS do you think you could start a section or put up links to sites on filipino culture? thanks again, keep it up!
I LOVE your website. My mother and father did not teach me any of our language and i have had a hunger to learn and teach my children. Please do not stop publishing your site...Our immediate family of 23 grandchildren, 7 daughters relish what you have brought to our family...We can't thank you enough..
Ps. I linked your web site to our family web site... www.realinfamily.com (under construction)
