Reviews / Votes
"A neat little phrasebook for those trying to learn Tagalog, the main language of the Philippines. Contains some phrases that other books wouldn't even attempt to address, phrases relating to man-woman relationships and other things. Very well put together." -Goodreads "One of the things that I most like about the books is that they include the English translations of the phrases as well as the sentences and words in the writing system of the language alongside the transliteration. This is great both for those who are interested in a more conversational approach and for those interested in more in-depth learning." --EurolinguisteMore details
