I am absolutely 100% fluent in Tagalog after just one week
And that`s no lie.
Well... actually, it is. But... you know...
Hi guys, this is Paul
Last week I posted a video telling you about my intention to study Tagalog.
And the question is: "did I actually follow through?"
Did I actually study it and follow the plan I had told you about?
Or did I sit around watching tv and drinking some Coke and eating chips and whatever, instead of studying?
That's the question. So I'd like to show you a bit of my week.
What I did, and then show you the end result, which is some of what I learned during that week.
So, have a look and see what you think.
Hindi. Hindi ako nakakaintindi ng Tagalog.
Angaling mo mag Tagalog.
Tagalog Ang pronouns and Ng pronouns
Tagalog question words
Hindi akong masyadong mabuti.
Paki sulat mo
"Please write that"
"Could you write that? Yeah.
Mamaya. That means "later".
Hindi ako gutom.
Mali mali akong magtagalog.
Pero nakakaintindi ako kaunti. NG kaunti.
Making Anki flashcards.
Puede bang magtanong?
Tubig ang gusto kong inumin.
Ako rin. Kain tayo mamaya.

Hindi ako nayayamot, dahil marami akong ginagawa! (I don't get bored, because I do a lot of things.)
Ok,... Magandang araw sa iyo! ... Bye. (Have a good day)
Obviously I have a long way to go.
