Tagalog Language Learning: Updates from Your Teacher
No class on May 10, workbook nearly done, eyeglass struggle, and more! Share your feedback or suggest Tagalog and Filipino culture topics I can write about.
I hope this message finds you well and grounded wherever you may be. Just a quick update from me — both personal and work-related — to keep us connected on this beautiful language-learning journey.
No Saturday Classes on May 10 – Here’s Why
If you’ve been wondering about our Saturday Tagalog sessions, please note that there will be no class on Saturday, May 10. I’ll be out of town attending a very special event — the wedding of Noah and Lindsey!
Noah is the son of Bruce’s best friend, and over the years, he and our son Ryan have grown so close that they’re practically brothers. Our family will be traveling around 170 miles northeast of Troy, Ohio by car for the celebration. Classes will resume as usual on Saturday, May 17.
On a Personal Note: Eyeglass Woes
I recently got a new eyeglass prescription — but unfortunately, it’s not working out well. The new lenses distort rectangular shapes, making them appear like trapezoids! This makes it quite uncomfortable to work in front of the computer. Apps, browser windows, and even simple text look slanted or misshapen. Hopefully, I’ll get a proper replacement soon to ease the strain.
Writing Update: Learn Tagalog in 14 Days Workbook
Despite the hiccups, I’m steadily working on the “Learn Tagalog in 14 Days” workbook. I just completed Day 12, and the final two chapters (Days 13 and 14) are on their way next week!
If you’re a paid subscriber, you can already download the draft version of this Tagalog workbook for free.
It’s designed with clear guidance, practical phrases, and exercises to help you progress at your own pace.
