Does any one have these, Learning Pilipino Through Self Instruct

Any one got these used for sale? (just the tapes/cds/mp3s)

I came across those books while scouring the net for resources some weeks ago. Was unable to find any good reviews on them though, so I assumed they sucked. But your "best books ever" ringing endorsement is making me reconsider.How do they compare to Tagalog Reference Grammar which I have, and the learningtagalog.com grammar book (which I don't have but am considering buying)?

They truly are I think @jkos and @akosikoneho can attest to this. They are not for casual learners at all, this is if you are SERIOUS about learning and want to put the time and effort that goes in to it. I think @jkos said once something like its that crazy deep Tagalog Reference book put in to a real training program but its really rigorous. But I really want to get a hold of these MP3's...perhaps a group buy if any one wants to split the costs?

No need to buy this, this is the same content they have on the LT site for free in the grammar section. It's good stuff but it's already on the web and easy to search and well organized, I don't see why one would need a hard copy. @primesgenato

Ok great. So any suggestions on where to get the ebooks? It seems that there are 4 books to get?

There are no ebooks, unless you scan them yourself and the real ones are hard to find at least as a set, you will have to go used for sure. Try amazon.com , abebooks.com. I suppose if people were interested in going in on these MP3s that some scans could turn up, its a lot of work tho.

For some reason anything good in this language has been neglected and left to rot, no longer updated , no longer published and certainly not made in to a proper ebook. You can't even get proper copies of popular authors like Bob Ong any where. I swear it feels like foreigners care more about Tagalog than the speakers.

thx for the info.
@AMBoylol yep been looking around for tagalog reference books and that seems to be the case. even tried pirated torrent sites. nada.never heard of bob ong. will check him out. thx.

I found a couple Bob Ong books at NBS...though not the ones I had targeted.Meeeeeh...I got your Christmas gift. :D

I just bumped into the Author John Wolff so I ordered one up....delivery later this week...I hear the first few units are strong on explanations...before it gets convoluted and sloppy. Let's see.

VisPrint (Bob Ong's publisher), I believe, is closing.But yeah, the literary catalog for Filipino literature (in Tagalog, but ) is not really good.

@BoraMac I read that review haha, its true the books could be laid out much better and they annoying use use HO instead of PO in 99% of the drills its good stuff tho.

These books are good. Drills for days
