Hello! My name is Simi. I am from Washington State and I am a Beginner Filipino language student.
I am studying the Filipino language because....
Many of my favorite people are from the Philippines; and, some have become instant family. Recently, one adopted family hired me to be their mother's caretaker; and, their father keeps speaking to me in Tagalog. Also, we watch TFC at lunchtime, every weekday; and, I'd like to learn exactly what is being said, instead of just reading the situation, with body language and tone of voice.
One of the daughters has started giving me 1-3 words a day, that I write down in a designated section of my travel journal. 😊
