The Importance of a Language

[Edwin]

Mahal Kita is a good one and fun to practice too! They say if you do what you are learning to say that makes learning easier.

When you are around with filipino people, you will learn to understand their dialect than learning it in books. Filipino words especially tagalog are easy to understand.
Example:
Gusto kita - means "I like you"
Saan ka pupunta - means " where are you going?"
malayo - means "far"
malapit - means "near"
malambing - means "sweet"

You are correct, being with the people and learning from them is by far the best, and the more senses you can involve in the learning the more complete it is. So acting out while talking is the best; might even get some laughs, huh?
